OMB "Ratings" Signal Funding Cuts: Orwellian "ExpectMore.gov" Targets Progressive Programs

[CorpGovActivist]

Note how programs aimed at helping the poor, people in rural areas, minorities, etc. are rated "ineffective": http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/expectmore/rating/notperform.html

This is an outgrowth of the "President's Management Agenda" - the "White House run as a corporation" idea that our "MBA President" has championed.

The main page is here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/expectmore/index.html

For more information on the President's Management Agenda, or PMA: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budintegration/pma_index.html

By declaring these programs as "underperforming," "ineffective," etc., the OMB provides ideologically-grounded cover for cutting funding.

2. Wonder if the OMB thought that we're getting what we pay for

in the Defense Department? Did they check out Homeland Security or FEMA? Seems to me that the bookkeeping is shoddy enough that the Defense Department shouldn't get any money until they straighten out their books.

4. You Can Look It up by Dept. or Agency...

... for example, the DoD: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/expectmore/agency/007.html

3. Shrub promised to run the government

like a business. He's doing it. Unfortunately, he's run every business he's had into the ground and expected somebody else to bail him out.
