Wayne Allard: “my amendment will cut the Federal deficit and eliminated Government waste by reducing spending 5 percent on programs…”

On the recordMarch 13, 2008
my amendment will cut the Federal deficit and eliminated Government waste by reducing spending 5 percent on programs rated ``ineffective'' by the OMB and use the savings to pay down the Federal debt. Five percent is the expected increase under this budget. We are not cutting any programs or zeroing anything out, just saying that an ``ineffective'' rating probably means they do not deserve an increase. The PART program was initiated by Congress, a result of the Government Performance and Results Act, Public Law No. 103-62. It is time we followed through on our efforts to increase Government accountability and efficiency. I urge a ``yes'' vote.
