Hey, Democrats: If not ObamaCare, Here's $95 billion of Easy Savings
Bob Beauprez | Sep 30, 2013

As Washington wrestles with the challenge of keeping the government's lights on and paying the bills, the Democrats have hunkered down in their familiar "no more spending cuts" position.

The House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says, "We all want to reduce the deficit." However, "There's no more cuts to make," she says. "The cupboard is bare." Harry Reid accuses thrift-minded Republicans of extortion, and calls them anarchists, arsonists, and extremists. The President has no time for Congressional Republicans. "I will not negotiate," with elected representatives of the people, he says. Obama's chief adviser likened Republicans to terrorists with "a bomb strapped to their chests." Meanwhile, the President is perfectly willing to extend an olive branch to Iran and sub-contract management of U.S. foreign policy to Vladimir Putin.

Following are some of the headline examples from the GAO report. Again, the savings from the GAO's recommendation exceed $95 billion – that's $95,000 million! Real money – at least everywhere outside of Washington.

If saving were something the Dems were interested in, well, maybe they'd be interested.
