Obama Math

April 20th, 2009

Obama’s idea of slashing spending is to trim $100,000,000 off of his proposed $3,500,000,000,000 budget. Of course this will be parroted about by his underlings as change we can believe in. The stupidity of the masses will be tested with this one. Anyone that brings this up while discussing government spending needs to be punched directly in the throat.

This equals a reduction of about .003 percent of the budget or three hundred thousandths. It is quite literally only a drop in the bucket. A drop of water weighs about a tenth of a gram (0.1 grams). A gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds. Three hundred thousandths of a gallon of water weighs 113 milligrams, or .113 grams. Please excuse my mixture of metric and imperial measurements.

This is depraved. We have the President claiming he is being fiscally responsible by introducing a budget twice the size of any that have come before it, during the worst recession in decades. Then to lessen the blow, he literally tries to reduce spending by removing one drop of water from this disgustingly bloated bucket.

Unbelievable.

Story

A cut of $100 million in a multitrillion-dollar federal budget likely will be criticized by Obama’s opponents as inadequate.

Ya think?
