You Cut Rollup - So Far

Previous Cuts Chosen By the Public under Eric Cantor's (D-VA) You Cut Program:

Each week, the public votes on which items should be brought to the House Floor. Here is a list of previous winning items.

Week One: Cut the New Non-Reformed Welfare Program ($25 Billion Savings)

Week Two: Eliminate Federal Employee Pay Raise ($30 Billion Savings)

Week Three: Reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ($30 Billion Savings)

Week Four: Sell Excess Federal Property ($15 Billion Savings)

Week Five: Prohibit Hiring New IRS Agents to Enforce Health Care Law ($15 Billion Savings)

Week Six: Taxpayer Subsidized Union Activities ($1.2 Billion Savings)

Week Seven: Prohibit Stimulus Funding for Promotional Signage (Tens of Millions)

Week Eight: Prohibit Sleeper Car Subsidies on Amtrak ($1.2 billion Savings)

Week Nine: Bipartisan Proposal to Terminate AEITC ($1.1 billion Savings)

If only we had a conservative Congress in majority who could pass these bills onto the Senate then to the President. I am under no illusion that he (Obama) will approve these cuts, but at least we can expose the tax and spend politicians for what they are.
