Yet more great change - being under budget

Talk about great change. Add some efficiency, cut some waste, and now instead of habitually adding to the deficit without a thought like the last administration, we SAVED $1.6 billion!

While the previous method was far more profitable for crony contractors, as a taxpayer I much prefer the current mindset. This change is good.

Want more change to believe in? How about supporting education.

The conservative long-term goal of firing every public school teacher and completely disbanding the Department of Education would be a boon for the folk who would be given the physical assets of public education for pennies on the dollar. Privatization of public education would have that initial profit, plus in the long run they would only have to focus on quarterly profits, instead of providing quality education. Personally, I don't just think that's a bad plan, I think it would be utterly disastrous for the long-term ability of America to compete on the global stage. Education should not just be for those of ample means, it should be available to all.
