Obama’s Budget Cut-$100 Million or 0.0029%
Posted by: acm in Obama, tags: budget cuts, ObamaWow, I’m impressed. $100 million is the goal of Obama to cut from the budget. It sounds so impressive. But against $3.5 Trillion, that’s just–peanuts.
I guess this minuscule amount is suppose to make the Tea Party protesters happy. Look, see what I did!! I listened and I cut. Well, it just doesn’t work.
Per Hot Air, this is how it breaks down:
$100 million from a $3.5 trillion budget for FY2010: 0.0029% $100 million from the $1.2 trillion White House deficit projection for their FY2010 budget: 0.008% $100 million from the $700 billion Porkulus stimulus bill Obama demanded: 0.013% $100 million from the $634 billion “down payment” on nationalized health care: 0.016% $100 million from the $555 billion omnibus spending plan completing the 2009 budget: 0.018% $100 million from the $13 billion in pork from the omnibus spending plan: 0.77
hmmm, so much for hope and change.
See Washington Post, Hot Air.
