I just want to see these expensive government tress start to fall. Put the crosshairs on these programs and get rid of them, pronto.

A good start!

Sounds like they are just scratching the surface of entitlement and lobbyist kick back programs. KEEP ON CUTTING !!!!!

Finally! This is change we can believe in. If we want to remain competitive, and create a more solid financial base for the future of the country, then we need to have these cuts implemented. We need to scale back. We need to sacrifice. I'm hoping these cuts get passed, and that Obama doesn't veto it.

Hahahahahaha. Just another attempt by Republican'ts to defund their typical boogeymen ... PBS, Childrens programs, national treasures, etc. combined with the effort to cripple the federal government (defund its ability to print bills in Congress, acquire needed office space, adminstratively manage federal programs, etc.)

If these people don't believe in Government, why are they in Congress?
