2012-01-24 18:30:00 President Obama, reports Dwvin Dwyer this morning on ABCNews, “has spent the past three months railing against a ‘do-nothing Congress,” and tonight he has the opportunity to deliver his message face to face.” As the Democrat demagogues a legislature that won’t rubberstamp his priorities, he will certainly obscure one fact: Congress is not a ...

Budget: Could Central Office Be Cut 40 Percent?
2011-06-28 16:31:00 Teacher Sophia Du Brul writes that it's central office spending -- all $1.6 billion a year of it -- that is the real problem, not teacher salaries or school-level spending (CPS teachers really getting 'the shaft'). She says that cutting just 40 percent of that spending, which makes up 43 percent of the CPS budget, would fix the $700 million budget hole. But is that right, and if so what programs would you cut that would be big enough to make a real difference?...
Northeast Ecological Corridor ? Beaches, Turtles and More
2011-06-13 01:00:00 The Northeast Ecological Corridor is a wonderful stretch of about 6½ miles of coastline, from Luquillo to Fajardo.

It really is a wonderful, natural place. We hope that more awareness of Puerto Rico's natural wonders will encourge people to want to preserve it.Continue reading this article → Northeast Ecological Corridor – Beaches, Turtles and More Are you on Facebook?

Rodriguez gifts Claypool with budget $9 million in black so far this year
2011-05-25 14:00:00 Former CTA President Richard Rodriguez left the transit agency in decent shape financially for new boss Forrest Claypool.For the first quarter of 2011, the CTA found itself $9.1 million in black, primarily due to lower operating costs compared to budget, according to a May board report. Lower labor costs accounted for almost two-thirds of that. Labor expenses were $5.8 million favorable to budget "due to delayed hiring, unfilled vacancies, and higher charges to capital jobs." Total operating expenses were about $15 million lower than budget. However, fare and pass revenue was $5.2 million less than budget, "primarily due to lower ridership and a lower average fare. The average fare for the first quarter was $0.99 per ride and was $0.02...

He also bemoaned the fact that capital funds have been moved to the operating budget - something his predecessor had to do twice to avoid red ink.Tribune photoFinding more dollars: Claypool avoided...

Left Laments Ryan's GOP Budget NOT Raising America's Ire
2011-04-23 19:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston The left is desperate to color Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan's GOP budget plan (The Path to Prosperity, as it is styled) as the end of America, crazed to call his plan a killer of old people, and maniacal about saying the the GOP and Ryan want to destroy the country by asking for a few budget cuts. The left even claims that "the country" or "the people" are against the GOP budget proposal. But even lefty blogger Dave Weigel is asking the seminal question: where are the protests? Now, there does seem to be enough evidence that the people are not very optimistic abut America's economic outlook. And members of Congress are certainly feeling the heat...
Kinzinger Statement on House Republicans' FY 2012 Budget
2011-04-17 18:00:00 From the office of Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R,IL)... Washington, D.C. - Congressman Adam Kinzinger (IL-11) today issued the following statement in support of H.Con.Res 34, the House Republicans' "Path to Prosperity" plan: "America stands at a critical crossroads - Should Washington wade deeper in the red and follow the President's budget proposal? Or, should we chart a new way forward under the House Republicans' budget resolution? "It's no secret that we cannot continue down this reckless trajectory. Our nation's total debt has already hit an all-time high of more than $14.2 trillion and is alarmingly close to reaching the federal debt ceiling. We've kicked the can down the road for too long and now, there's no more road left....

Liberals: Don't read Paul Ryan's budget before you criticize it

That was the argument Senate Majority Leader Harry Reiddeployed on the Senate floor Friday during the final hours of negotiations over a possible government shutdown. Asked he: "Why are we talking about whether women can get something as simple and noncontroversial as a cancer screening? The answer is that Republicans want to shut down our nation's government because they want to make it harder for women to get the health services they need."...
Obama Budget Plan Better Than GOP Path To Prosperity

Wholesale Sunglasses: Looking Great while Staying within your Budget
2011-04-13 12:39:00 It’s not impossible to look good without spending too much. Usually, sellers offer discounts when you buy their products in bulk – thus, offering advantages both for you and the seller. The same goes for buying wholesale sunglasses – it’s like hitting two birds with one stone: the seller is able to profit and you leave, happily, with a lot of wholesale sunglasses. This is particularly useful especially if you’re the type of person who needs a pair of fashion sunglasses for every outfit – you have one for the beach, another for the mall, etc. Buying wholesale sunglasses gives you the chance to save yourself the time and effort of going to the mall to buy a new pair of fashion sunglasses each time. You end up saving a lot of money, too. We all know that fashion sunglasses don’t always come cheap. Not everyone can afford them and therefore, they have to give up protection for their eyes even during the hot summer days. But eye protection is a serious business – that’...

In fact, treating it otherwise endangers further cuts and bigger budget wins. If the drive to cut the budget stops now, it might be YOUR fault! What is that you say? Gosh, we only got a paltry $38.5 billion in cuts? You say this is a loss because we were promised $100 billion and even that is a drop in the bucket with a budget trillions overspent? Yes, your laments are all true to a degree. And here's the "but" you know is coming......
House GOP Unveils Budget Path to Prosperity
2011-04-05 22:30:00 From the office of Representative Peter Roskam (R, ILL, 6th District)... Plan would spur major job creation through fundamental tax reform; saves $4.4 trillion in ten years by controlling Washington's spending and debt, and saving Social Security and Medicare for future generations WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the House Budget Committee unveiled the House Republicans' FY 2012 Budget, a proposal that spurs job creation today, lifts the crushing burden of debt, and puts our country on a path to prosperity and fiscal responsibility. It comes in stark contrast to President Obama's FY 2012 budget - a plan to increase taxes by $1.5 trillion, continue Washington's spending binge, and ensure Medicare and Social Security go bankrupt.

Top Worst State Budgets: Unions Have Put EVERY State's Budget In The H
2011-04-05 17:30:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Illinois in Top Ten WORST States... When you or I overspend our family budget and end up not being able to pay our bills a few things happen, all of them bad. At best we do without luxury items, at worst a bank comes and takes our cars away, our homes away, or, worse yet, we go hungry. When government unions spend government budgets into a black hole of trouble what happens? Apparently the citizens are expected to lose more of their own money for the comfort of government union members and to assist big spending Democrat politicians to keep indulging a wild bacchanalia of spending. The worst mess that states are in is because government...

Let's Have Some Patience on the Budget Cuts
2011-03-25 00:30:00 -By Warner Todd Huston For decades I have been sick and tired unto death of the massive overspending, arrogance, and outright graft of Congress. Like many of you I felt the Tea Party movement was a bolt out of the blue, but a welcome one. I was also jazzed when the 2010 Republican wave overtook Washington and installed so many freshmen congressmen pledging to cut the federal budget. Also like many of you I am frustrated with the slow pace of cuts and would love to see them come faster. One of the loudest voices decrying the slow pace of the cuts often comes from the radio talkers. Folks like Limbaugh and Levin, for instance, are heard to lament...
Illinois Republicans have a plan for a balanced budget in four years- Gover
2011-03-18 15:30:00 Illinois Republicans went all in Thursday by providing their proposals for budget cuts that could get Illinois back to solvency. Senate Minority leader Christine Radogno provided a senate Republican plan that would cut $5 billion in education, health care and state employee pensions. Radogno says her plan will create a $4 billion budget surplus within four years without having to borrow or make the tax increase permanent. Governor Quinn called the GOP plan "farfetched." Interestingly, he also said: "We are not going to go backwards. The apostles of, you know, Draconian cuts, ends up hurting your economic growth and jobs. I'm not listening to them."
