Obama's 'who does he think he's kidding' budget cuts By Diane Sori (with Saul Hakim)
President Obama has 'ORDERED' Congress to cut $100,000,000.00 ($100 MILLION) from the 'proposed' yet to be passed $3,500,000,000,000.00 ($3.5 TRILLION) federal budget.
Being that I was so NOT impressed by this superficial cut in federal spending, I decided to see how these cuts would relate to real people, real world budgeting. The calculations are based on a hypothetical individual or family that spends roughly $2,000 a month on groceries, household expenses, medicine, utilities, etc...a definite workable real day budget.
In the spirit of fair play, I figuring that said budget should be cut by exactly the same ratio, 1/35,000, as that of the Obama demanded federal budget cuts. Now here's the shocker, after doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $2,000 a month, the individual or family's budget will now be cut by a miserly 6 cents ($0.06). That individual or family will now have to get by with $1999.94 instead of $2000 per month.
Hey, such sacrifices we must make for our president (insert sarcastic laugh here)!
What's even more mind-boggling is the thought that Obama doesn't think that any of 'We the People' would do the math! But some of us did and now we understand just how ridiculous a mere $100 million dollar cut is in a 3,500,000,000,000.00 federal budget.
But that's how it is in Obamland...November 6th can't come fast enough!
