   buried in the budget documents released by the White House today is a 9 percent cut

   Wonder how many other things are “buried” in those documents, most of which will never see the light of day.

   Cutting $4 million dollars, eh, Mr. Obama? It would take at least that much to do a start up of an investigation of the SEIU/ACORN/LaRaza hydra.

   Instead of using the money to make sure unions play by the rules, the Obama administration proposes shifting resources to the department’s Wage and Hour Division, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration — all areas of the agency focused on regulating businesses.

   Further proof that this administration is at a complete loss as to how to grow both the economy and jobs.

   Regulation seems to be all they know and it’s the surest method for government to crowd out private investment, thus eliminating jobs and reducing public revenues.

   If this is their plan going forward, Americans should just resign themselves to seeing higher unemployment and mounting federal debt and deficits.

   citing an insufficient “workload” for the office.

   Are you kidding me? You’re just not looking very hard, are you? Sheesh! Murtha alone should keep them busy for the next ten years!

   Soon, there will be a State-sponsored gas station to utilize–only one. One grocery store chain, one lumber yard, one school, one political party….oops sorry; we already have that last one…

   theres the problem…

   Its actions led to 929 convictions of corrupt union officials and to the recovery of more than $93 million on behalf of union members. Yet the Obama administration has proposed slashing its budget from $45 million

   They’re saving more than there spending!
   Not to mention…929 less votes!

    No big deal. They’re not going to be doing anything but sitting on their thumbs for the next few years anyway. No US Attorney is going to cross the current administration by prosecuting a union campaign contributor.

    I don’t think bho will actually cut any money from the budget. He will just transfer those people to another department where that department will get more money. He will not let any gov. employees loose their jobs. Gov. is almost the only one people hiring.

    Good point, txvet2, and 45 to 41 million is hardly a “slash” anyway. That’s about the same as the slash you hear about when republicans slash funding for homeless starving unemployed disabled veteran elderly schoolchildren. /sarc. Seriously, do Democrats get all their talking points from mad libs?

    Give him a week and he’ll do away with the anti-corruption unit completely. Who needs it?? the WHOLE thing is corrupt starting with POTUS on down. Then he can send all the money to ACORN to make sure that ACORN gets the cemetary voters in all the states for the next election.

    Actually, this is one of those rare instances in which Hope-a-Dope’s post-campaign behavior is in line with his campaign rhetoric: He was clear before the election that he was going to gut union watchdog regulations.

    So even while he re-opens the door to let the mob back into the union hall and reminds us all once more of why RICO laws were enacted in the first place, I guess I’ll have to go write down this moment in my diary — Hope-a-Dope actually kept his word for a change.

    The President uses toy knives to “cut” the rest of the budget, but somehow finds a working chainsaw to slash funding of the anti-union corruption unit at the Labor Department.

    Duh…his base voters are corrupt too. Why do we keep looking for Obunghole to ‘fess up and fly right?

    Absolutely! Union corruption is being carried out by the Oval Office now, so no need to worry about prosecuting any normal, everyday union thugs. Those guys are going be playing a lot more golf now that THE ONE has co-opted the racket.

    *This should surprise no one; MM does a great job of exposing what P-BO and the Clown Cluster are DOING; That is what is so destructive to the country; Shame on the others for only paying attention to what he is saying, and only half paying attention to that!
    *On a related note, P-BO has forsaken the rule of law and put the UAW ahead of secured creditors in the Chrysler bankrupcy; He will attempt to do the same with GM; Does anyone need further incentive not to buy a Chrysler or GM product?
    *Having spent 33 years in the automotive parts manufacturing business, I can easily say that the UAW has single handedly driven more jobs out of the USA and Canada than any other factors combined.

    Just another way to prop up the failure of socialism. Union shops can’t compete? Change the rules in their favor. Nothing stands in the way of the revolution.

    except maybe true conservatives clinging to their bibles and GUNS……

    This isn’t meant to be an Obama complement…but, the way I see it he is doing most everthing he said he would do during the campaign. The reason I was so adamantly against him then was because of what he was saying. I am not a bit surprized at what is happening now.

    The people that amaze me are the ones that look at what Obama and his adminstration are doing and say, “I didn’t know they would do that!”
