"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... Some of the proposed
reductions will surely draw Democratic attack, such as cutting the Ready to
Learn TV Program, repeal of the Davis-Bacon Act, the elimination of the
Energy Star Program, and cutting subsidies to the Woodrow Wilson Center."

Inasmuch as the Energy Star program relies on the manufacturer's word,
eliminating the program reduces the temptation to lie.
