YouCut
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
YouCut was a program started by Republican Congressman and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in May 2010 to present ideas for potential cost-cutting bills to be presented to the House of Representatives of the United States, and to solicit feedback on those ideas from the public.[1] The program consisted of a website offering ideas for visitors to vote on, and presents video of congress members discussing the winning ideas on the House floor.[citation needed]
Criticism
YouCut received criticism for being gimmicky, since the proposed cuts are insignificant relative to the size of the United States Budget Deficit.[2]
Cantor defended the program, stating that the goal is "to change the culture in Washington".[3]
