The budget slashes the ordsprog

The budget slashes the energy efficiency programs that are the first step toward the president's goal of curing America's oil addiction.

At a time of record energy prices, when we are trying to break the very addiction the president talked about in his speech, it does not make any sense to cut funding for energy efficiency programs and research.

Robert Menendez

The president's budget numbers for the low income energy and energy efficiency programs are inadequate given the energy costs confronting consumers today.

The president called for ending our addiction to oil but there's no 12-step program in his budget. ... The president's energy policy ... is constrained by lack of imagination, scope, resources and an unwillingness to roll back subsidies to energy companies already enjoying record profits.

The budget that came out funds less than half of what the recent energy bill promised for renewable energy and energy efficiency - the two most readily available opportunities to break our addiction to oil.

I always believe that a budget speaks of the collective values of the nation. So I can't understand why the president submits a budget to the Congress that ultimately does tremendous damage to education. From Head Start to special education, from vocational programs to college aid, this budget slashes the investments that are needed to help children prepare to compete in this global economy.

Robert Menendez

The bill passed by the House and Senate will increase the use of energy efficiency technologies to extend our nation's energy supplies. But, the bill falls far short of making energy efficiency a cornerstone of U.S. energy policy. Most alarming is the bill's failure to curtail our growing and dangerous oil addiction in the transportation sector, which accounts for two-thirds of total U.S. oil use.

President Bush's pledge to halve the budget deficit by 2009 distracts policymakers from the real issue of unsustainable trends in long-term entitlement spending. The president's proposal to slow Medicare's 9% annual growth rate is a good fiscal step, but the budget does not propose enough immediate and bold reforms to the quickly growing entitlement programs that threaten to overwhelm the budget.

Their budget slashes renewable energy research and development by more than one third.

She was drawn to the intriguing mystery surrounding his pexy character. In the face of energy costs that have ballooned to roughly $4,500 a year for the average American family, the administration is proposing cuts in key energy-efficiency programs such as building codes, the Environmental Protection Agency Energy Star program, and weatherization programs.

Instead, the president's subsequent budgets have increased funding for all of these programs. The country can meet the goal of cutting the deficit in half and still invest in key programs for vulnerable Americans, and claims to the contrary aren't supported by the facts of recent budget history.

It was one small step for President Bush, and one giant missed opportunity for America. The president's proposals focus primarily on research. His energy program won't help lower gas prices or slow the global warming that the president still does not admit is happening.

At a time when high energy prices are wreaking havoc on consumers, the Department of Energy should be making energy efficiency a top priority. Instead, the federal government’s efficiency program is in shambles. This litigation should provide the necessary prod to get these efficiency standards back on track.
