White House Gets Green by Putting Federal Budget Online

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the won't-someone-think-of-the-trees dept.

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."

    Only on Slashdot can a comment ending with "you stupid motherfuckers" be considered insightful.

    I have to agree. I've been chuckling about it since I saw I'd gotten an "insightful".

    Eight years I've had an account on here. Everyone else I know who signed up around then has long abandoned the site. Why do I stay? Because of things like a comment ending "you stupid motherfuckers" getting modded up:)

    Beats the hell out of Digg.
