If that's what LegalAid does, I would agree with you. But they don't. Please re-read the description of what the agency does.

LegalAid helps people with criminal cases, not civil matters. I did read it.....

LegalAid does not help people with criminal cases. The public defender's office does that.

Here's the LSC link.

Our journey together on this earth has come to an end.

I will see you one day again, my love.

My opinion? It is a place to start. Will everything happen? No. Should everything on this list get cut? No. But it is a starting point and I applaud them for that. Of course that is just my opinion. I also think they should make a 10% accross the board cut in military spending as well. But again, that is just my opinion.

I guess I was wrong about legal aid. I still support cutting it.

I also think they should make a 10% accross the board cut in military spending as well. But again, that is just my opinion.

it's a partisan list, and not a very good one at that. Seems they want to selectively quit giving money to some nations, but not others, hmmmmmmmmmm.

A bit off topic, but did you accept that job offer?

Much of this is not viable, ALC.

And are you impressed by them cutting their fleet of cars 20%. While they cut Federal Jobs? Many of which are held by veterans.

It's a starting point as Obama has cut little to nothing of note in two years.

Let's cut the Federal jobs and let chips fall where they may as veterans aren't guaranteed lifetime employment.

The disabled vets might take a hit because they have disportionate number in the Federal government.

So, how many jobs would executing this list create? What percentage drop in unemployment rate would we expect from such plan?

You know, jobs being the #1 priority and all...

When was reducing the unemployment rate ever the #1 goal of the Obama Administration?

The job stimulus didn't reduce unemployment below the promised 8% target and the idea only government can jump start the economy by providing make work jobs is a very ineffective model when we don't have the money to blow anymore. A lot of the EU has embraced austerity measures why not this country?

It may be a partisan list, it may even be a less than good one. But at least it is a list. It is better than the massive spending hikes we have been getting. I think we should stop giving money to all other nations. We need to get our own house in order before we get into other countries business. It is time to stop trying to be all things to all people. That isn't what a government is for. When a government tries to be everything to everyone it ends up falling. History should tell us that.

What job offer?

Looking at that list, I don't see a good start, or even a real start. I see a bunch of partisan selections to cut. Some of it I do agree with, but looking at that list, it reads like a partisan pet project list. In today's world, China is building research and development universities and centers, are we really going to start outsourcing all innovation to china now?

Both should be cut. All farm subsidies should go away IMO.

Political hack theatre at it's finest. Budget saving list? No! Simply a shot at programs not meeting R's standards, which is to say programs not making the rich richer, or subsidizing big oil and/or the military industrial complex.

The list is a lovely FU to the poor. And will make a lovely Gooey Old Pr*** talking point in 2012 when rejected.
