The House Committee on Appropriations writes CR Spending Cuts to Go Deep "‘Make no mistake, these cuts are not low-hanging fruit. These cuts are real and will impact every District across the country - including my own. As I have often said, every dollar we cut has a constituency, an industry, an association, and individual citizens who will disagree with us. But with this CR, we will respond to the millions of Americans who have called on this Congress to rein in spending to help our economy grow and our businesses create jobs.’"

The problem is, with just an amount and a department there's no way to know if this is waste or will really hurt. Given years of cut backs I know what I think it is, but it would be nice to see department reports of what they'll be giving up.
E.g., cutting $30 from Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies seems ridiculous, particularly after Katrina and BP. But is this funding for those emergencies that has completed and the budget is just going back to normal?
Is this the time to cut $2 Billion from "Jobs Training Programs"?!?
Still the real question is how many jobs will this cut and how will more unemployed "help" the economy?
