My Way News - Budget tricks helped Obama save programs from cuts
The budget compromise wasn't real...wasn't the truth, was slight of hand....Nooooooooooooooo!!!!! I'm just so surprised....
The historic $38 billion in budget cuts resulting from at-times hostile bargaining between Congress and the Obama White House were accomplished in large part by pruning money left over from previous years, using accounting sleight of hand and going after programs President Barack Obama had targeted anyway.
Such moves permitted Obama to save favorite programs - Pell grants for poor college students, health research and 'Race to the Top' aid for public schools, among others - from Republican knives, according to new details of the legislation released Tuesday morning."
