Holy shit ! look at Congress staff/budget

Holy shit ! look at Congress staff/budget

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- In the land of big-time deficits and trillion dollar budgets, Congress is spending less money on at least one thing. Itself.


After voting last year to cut its own operating budget by 5%, House members have reduced the number of paid positions on their staffs, and are spending less on office supplies and computers.

The cuts have translated to 948 fewer salaried staff positions, a 62.5% drop in spending on computers and 30.7% less spending on office supplies, according to an analysis conducted by the Sunlight Foundation.

Staff assistant positions were the hardest hit, registering a 16.6% decline, while the number of part-time employees dropped 15.6%. Meanwhile, the number of slots for communication directors actually increased.

The House has around 12,000 staffers, and the job cuts amounted to a 7.4% overall decline in positions, according to Sunlight.


When compared to current deficits, the House spending reductions don't add up to much in the way of savings. But for a Republican-controlled chamber, they are an important reflection of legislative priorities.

"The cuts are such a tiny fraction of the overall budget," said Lee Drutman, a data fellow at Sunlight. "And the reality is it makes it harder for them to do a decent job."

And more cuts are on the way, as funding will decrease another 6.4% for the legislative year that kicks off Tuesday.

Actress Confronts Sean Penn Over His Support for Chavez: ‘You Are a Communist Assholeo!’

Actress Maria Conchita Alonso  confronts Sean Penn Over His Support for Chavez: ‘You Are a Communist Asshole!

Cuban-born, Venezuelan-raised actress Maria Conchita Alonso and actor Sean Penn had a contentious exchange at Los Angeles International airport recently, in which Alonso called Penn a “communist a**hole“ and Penn called Alonso a ”pig.”




Over a year and a half after Alonso penned an open letter to Penn asking him why he supports socialist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, the two met up serendipitously (or not so) at LAX while both were waiting to claim lost luggage.

Alonso, who starred alongside Penn in the 1988 film “Colors,” described the exchange to Steve Malzberg on WMAL.




“The second time I called him a communist I said ‘You’re a communist a**hole,” Alonso elaborated. She claims that while she regrets using profanity she is not sorry for calling Penn a communist.



“I’m not apologizing for calling him a communist because that is what he is.”



WMAL adds:

Alonso‘s criticism of Penn stems from comments he made on HBO  where he painted Chavez in favorable terms for the nation’s work with aid in Haiti.



Alonso, who claimed the pair’s heated exchange caused a scene, added that she finds it “sad” because Penn is “an amazing actor.”
