OMB "Ratings" Signal Funding Cuts: Orwellian "ExpectMore.gov" Targets Progressive Programs

Edited on Thu Feb-22-07 10:22 PM by CorpGovActivist

Note how programs aimed at helping the poor, people in rural areas, minorities, etc. are rated "ineffective": http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/expectmore/rating/notperform.html

This is an outgrowth of the "President's Management Agenda" - the "White House run as a corporation" idea that our "MBA President" has championed.

The main page is here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/expectmore/index.html

For more information on the President's Management Agenda, or PMA: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budintegration/pma_index.html

By declaring these programs as "underperforming," "ineffective," etc., the OMB provides ideologically-grounded cover for cutting funding.
