Ed crunched the numbers
on Obama’s ridiculous budget cuts this morning but I thought you’d
enjoy video of The One insisting, with all apparent sincerity, that
they’re really quite substantial once you remove, um, all relevant
context. Watch here.
It’s as supreme an insult to the intelligence of average Americans as
anything he’s said thus far as president, including reminding people to
wash their hands to avoid swine flu. To put the cuts in perspective,
imagine a family that’s already deeply in debt realizing they’re on
pace to spend $50,000 this year — and “scaling back” by foregoing one
$250 purchase. One half of one percent. That’s what we’re talking
about.
Actually, here’s an even better perspective. Remember, Bush’s last budget deficit was less than one quarter the size of what this year’s will be under Obama.
