Attention K-Mart shoppers! Obama ’slashes’ the budget by $17 billion or 0.5%! But for what programs?

Phillip Klein at The American Spectator found what is at first look an actual, meaningful cut in the 2010 budget that is “slashed” by a whopping $17 billion, which includes a cut of $4,000,000 (9%) in the Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards from $45,000,000 to $41,000,000. Which this big “fat cutting messure”, that means that unions would suddenly find it a lot easier to skim money now that they have their people running things.

More from American Spectator:

Skimming union dues is something that former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao took very seriously to the tune of 929 convictions of corrupt union bosses and $93 million returned to union members.

Do fret; that $4 million won’t be going back to the taxpayers, or even those that buy US Treasury bonds and bills. Current Labor Secretary Hilda Solis has a “better” use of that $4 million – the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Phillip helpfully notes that all of those entities go after “big business” and not “big labor”.
