Denim aficionados claim you should never wash your jeans, instead freeze them once a month.. ABC News.
Our Notes: Now here is one way to go green. Stop washing your cloths altogether. If you do not have to wash your jeans, why should you have to wash any other cloths? Don't play in the dirt and stay away from anything greasy or grimy. If your cloths smell, blame it on top fashion experts. In fact, it will probably become fashionable to not wash cloths or yourself as part of going green here in the future. If you can offend a skunk with your own body odor, then you have hit the peak of fashion.
I think we will stick to the orange philosophy and keep showering as if water were plentiful everywhere. Wait, it is. Now go wash your smelly jeans.

Senator Mark R Warner, Saving Every Dollar

Because of the DATA Act, every federal agency must now display their financial data in the same format on a single easy-to-read website. The public should be able to see clearly how much each agency and program across government spends. With a national debt of $17 trillion (and growing every day), I know it’s more important than ever that we reduce unnecessary spending.
And I’ve only just begun – I’m working on several other bills that will improve government efficiency. For example, I recently introduced another bipartisan bill that would eliminate duplication, wasteful and unnecessary reports that federal agencies produce. The Washington Post had a story about our legislation, and reported that Congress is still ordering up six reports about the Soviet Union, a country that dissolved in 1991, as well as about Spanish-American War veterans, the last of whom died in 1994. I think that’s ridiculous. My legislation would eliminate or modify more than 300 of the worst offenders that are wasting money and staff hours.
None of these initiatives will fix all of our budget problems, but increasing transparency is critical to accountability. That’s what I learned over more than 20 years in business and as Virginia’s governor, when I was proud that Virginia was named the best managed state. The passage of the DATA Act proves that Washington still can come together on a bipartisan basis to pass commonsense reforms that put the taxpayers first. I promise to keep working in the Senate to continue to hold the federal government accountable for waste, fraud, and inefficiency, and give the taxpayers the transparency they deserve.
Regards,
Mark R. Warner
