Obama math at work again. He increases the national debt by trillions. Increases the federal budget by trillions and yet the idiot Steven Hurst reports this as a cut. The Obama shills are pathetic. Are Americans really this stupid?

WASHINGTON (AP) - A senior administration officials says President Barack Obama is ready to ask federal department and agency chiefs to find $100 million to cut from the budget when he holds his first formal Cabinet meeting.
The official previewed Topic A for Monday's Cabinet meeting on grounds of anonymity because it will be a private session. He said Obama will be reminding Cabinet members that financially-pressed families are looking to the government to spend their money wisely. The president's first formal Cabinet meeting is being held just days after a series of "Tea Party" demonstrations across the country in which protesters challenged the administration over it's massive spending. A cut of $100 million in a multitrillion-dollar federal budget likely will be criticized by Obama's opponents as inadequate.

If you think that is funny, wait until they can't find $100 million to cut. Or they will cut some program that never existed and say they cut $100 million from future growth.

Did not Gibbs, just weeks ago, find the idea of $8 billion in earmarks — 80 times the size of this budget cut — “minuscule” in the context of the appropriations bill..........and didnt Chuck You Schumer state American dont really care about 100 billion in earmarks............

.......but now 100 million is a big deal..........

maybe they know the ave. american better than we know..........

Personally I think most earmarks are wasteful. I have been against pretty much any earmark that should be taken care of by local or state governments. The biggest difference is cutting earmarks opens up spending on things that NEED to be taken care of at the federal level. So in essence if they got rid of all the earmarks they wouldn't need to cut a 100 million dollars of a program to show fiscal responsibility or get a headline.

Perspective from Heritage.org Foundry......

the following is the equvilent of Obama "spending cuts...."

imagine that the head of a household with annual spending of $100,000 called everyone in the family together to deal with a $34,000 budget shortfall.

How much would he or she announce that spending had to be cut? By $3 over the course of the year–approximately the cost of one latte at Starbucks.

The other $33,997? We can put that on the family credit card and worry about it next year
