Government going paperless also...

The government is phasing out paper checks and moving to direct deposit and pay cards. Starting next year, millions of people will be switching there social security, veterans benefits, and federal disability payments to paperless. This will help cut down on costs of paper along with fraud returns. Every month, the government pays around 73 million people which is a lot of paper and possible fraud! I think this is an awesome change that will help save the government alot of money, while protecting others at the same time!

Perry's Campaign Costs $3.6 Million So Far..

Rick Perry's reportedly spent $3.6 million dollars from Texas taxpayers to fund his campaign according to the state Friday, and the Democrat's want him to pay it back. The Texas Department of Public Safty reported that he spent $1.8 million on food, fuel, hotels, and other expenses and another $1.8 million on overtime guarding from August to January.

This is an absurd amount of money and I think that some of these politicans need to start learning how to really budget, especially on there campaigns! I agree with the Democrats that its ridiculous the amount of money he's spent so far and that he should pay it back!
