From The Five:
Mr. Obama must have been scared by the Tax Day Tea Party rebels. At the end of their meeting yesterday, he asked his Cabinet officials to cut… (insert evil spy soundtrack)… $100 miiilllliion dollars from the budget.
$100 miiillliion dollars…
These radical cuts will come by “purchasing office supplies in bulk” and teleconferencing when applicable. And they account for roughly five one hundredths of a percent of last month’s — just March’s — $192 billion federal budget deficit!
Ooooh…
That’s like making a $5 payment on a $10,000 monthly credit card bill.
If your neighbor sent the bank a check for $100 on a $200,000 loan, he’d be a bum on the verge of personal collapse — the village idiot. In Washington, he’d be the leader of the free world.
