I heard that many of the programs that will be "frozen" in 2011 have seen budget increases that total 24% during FY 2009 and 2010. I would accept a similar freeze if my pay had been increased by 24% over the last two years. Here we go again with "Washington Speak." In DC a budget cut is actually a budget increase because the size of the yearly budget increase is trimmed, not the year to year budget figure. I think this is called 0 base budgeting. A savings of 25 billion a year is chump change. markm Hello Greg,
