DAVIS-BACON WAGE DETERMINATION REFERENCE MATERIAL. IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Department of Agriculture. Archive Department of Agriculture Recommendations and Actions USDA01: End the Wool and Mohair Subsidy Background During World War II and the Korean conflict, the United States imported half the wool required for military uniforms. Wool was removed from the Pentagon's strategic materials list in 1960.
In addition to mohair and shorn wool, the program also subsidizes live lambs on the assumption that their pelts will be processed after slaughter. About half the wool program's recipients receive payments of $100 or less (the average payment for this group is $44).(5) Most are hobbyists and do not rely on sheep for their livelihoods. At the other end of the payment spectrum are the top 1 percent of producers who capture almost half the wool subsidy. Although the program adds handsomely to large producers' incomes, its appeal has not been strong enough to prevent a dramatic decline in domestic wool production. Action Implications Fiscal Impact Budget Authority (BA) and Outlays (Dollars in Millions) House GOP Lists $2.5 Trillion in Spending Cuts.
Moving aggressively to make good on election promises to slash the federal budget, the House GOP today unveiled an eye-popping plan to eliminate $2.5 trillion in spending over the next 10 years. Gone would be Amtrak subsidies, fat checks to the Legal Services Corporation and National Endowment for the Arts, and some $900 million to run President Obama's healthcare reform program. [See a gallery of political caricatures.] What's more, the "Spending Reduction Act of 2011" proposed by members of the conservative Republican Study Committee, chaired by Ohio Rep.
Jim Jordan, would reduce current spending for non-defense, non-homeland security and non-veterans programs to 2008 levels, eliminate federal control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, cut the federal workforce by 15 percent through attrition, and cut some $80 billion by blocking implementation of Obamacare.
