Obama wins more spending cuts than Bush

EXCLUSIVE: Obama wins more spending cuts than Bush


Congress accepts 60% of proposals


President Obama notched substantial successes in spending cuts last year, winning 60 percent of his proposed cuts and managing to get Congress to ax several programs that had bedeviled President George W. Bush for years.


TG: Obama is certainly no fiscal conservative, but he has procured more spending cuts in one year than Bush did in eight. What does that say for Bush?
