Allen West is Cutting Government Spending

Allen West has proposed Bill HR-1248 that would eliminate annual pay increases for employees who do not perform well in the Department of Defense.

"The Federal Government has a spending problem. While the Democrats continue to propose to add trillions of dollars in new spending and new taxes, I am keeping my promise to my constituents to responsibly cut government spending in order to get the American Fiscal House back in order," says West.

In addition, he is also submitting legislation to accomplish the following:

  • A House Resolution to reduce the printing and reproduction budget by 10%. Would generate $35.7 million in savings in FY12, reaching nearly $180 million in savings through FY16.
  • A House Resolution to reduce funding for Defense studies, analysis and evaluations by 10%. This would purportedly generate a savings of $24 million in FY12, returning up to $120 million to the treasury through FY16.


Submit your idea for spending cuts.
