Yesterday, President Obama announced that he would be doing some serious budget cutting. He met with his Cabinet and told them he wanted $100 million (I'm writing it that way because it's early in the morning and my brain can't handle all the zeroes) in budget cuts. Wow!
According to Ed Morrissey at Hot Air, this amounts to a 0.0029% cut on a budget of $ 3.5 trillion dollars (not to mention the pork-laden stimulus package of $787 billion). This is not budget cutting--this is a symbolic response to the tea parties last week. I hope the voters are paying enough attention to the numbers to realize that this is a scam.
