Line by Line: Some Obama Budget Cuts

And get a less dorky name if you want to be taken seriously. Reply

Ok, class, let's keep on track. You are all getting off track, hee, hee. This is about the budget cuts and your our commander and chief is taking a teeny, tiny pen knife to it to make us all think he's doing a great deed. Let's do the math rather than call each other names. You'll have to use your computer calculator, because a regular desk top calculator doesn't have enough space for all the zeros. The above added up to $1,740,800,000. Type that into your handy, dandy calculator. (There was no price tag on that F22, so I just didn't put that in as it won't really make a difference as you will soon see.) Now hit the division button. Then type in Obama's budget (the total amount before above total is "axed"....how much he and his best buddies in Congress are planning on spending) That number is 3,500,000,000,000. Now if you typed everything in correctly (I had to do it several times to be sure) your answer will be 4.973714 e-4, which is .0005 (rounded) and convert to percent (move decimal to the right twice is .05%. Hail Obama!! Most of our budget is spent on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Defense. Unless one of those is on his pen knife list, none of his "cuts' are going to make a d*** bit of difference, except make us think he is really doing something behind his smoke and mirrors. Reply
