White House Gets Green by Putting Federal Budget Online

coondoggie writes "Looking to save $1 million, 20 tons of paper, or close to 500 trees, the White House said today President Bush's 2009 Federal Budget will for the first time be posted online. The E-Budget will be available for downloading at the Office of Management and Budget Web site on Feb. 4. Typically the White House has paper-bombed congress and anyone else who wanted to read the budget with a tome which can reach 3,000 pages and weighed multiple pounds each."

John Kasich Had the budget in Excel

Back when the Republicans first got control of congress, and were still lead by more fiscal conservatives, John Kasich actually distributed copies of the House spending bills in Excel and 123 formats off of his web page. I remember downloading one of those monsters via dialup and going through it. Then, of course, Bush got elected, and overnight, the likes of Kasich and Army were forced out, and with them went any hope of fiscal responsibility.

The latest bodycount is around 151.000 and that is Iraqi. But I understand that is a price the Mericans are willing to pay to be able to drive a SUV.
