A risible set of spending cuts proposed in an alternative budget:

International organizations and foreign aid recipients, including millions for reconstruction in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. Labor union bosses participating in a new “green jobs” program. The National Endowment for the Arts, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Americorps, Title X Family Planning, and a host of spending programs that will do nothing to help our economy recover. And even community organizers, such as ACORN, performing “neighborhood stabilization.”

Because Hamas and condoms are breaking the budget. Then: a spending freeze. Er, that's it. Yeah: it seems to be that lame. The full version will come out later.
