Cutting government costs

When private enterprise companies are going through a recession, they cut back on costs -- they find alternative ways to do business and concentrate on essentials.

Our government is spending money like we're in the biggest economic boom in history. Obama is flying around Asia for 9 days burning up money for no good reason. All this business can be handled from afar with modern technology -- there's no need to pollute and spend money on all this travelling.

Obama should be in the White House working daily to find wasteful areas of government which can be eliminated, not adding to the waste by jet-setting around the globe.
