In Obama's morning speech, Monday February 14, in which he justified his newly proposed $3.73 trillion budget including a record $1.65 in deficit spending, he announced as if proud, budget cuts of $400 billion dollars.
What does that mean? First, understand that the Obama spending cuts take place over a 10 year period. In other words, Obama has just assumed we are all idiots. Think about it. $400 billion is, of course, $40 billion worth of cuts in the same year he will spend $1.65 trillion in debt. We are supposed to be impressed?
And the reporter asks, "Has Obama done enough?" An idiot's question. $40 billion is .02424 of one percent of $1.65 trillion.
Point of post: if we round off Obama's $40 billion annual cuts (dividing 40,000000000 by 165000000000), it would equal "zero." That is what he has done with the issue of spending cuts . . . . . and someone has the ignorance to ask, "Has Obama done enough."
To answer the idiot question? Nothing. He has done nothing but increased the national debt.
Update: correction - we originally had too many zeros behind 1.65 as we performed our math function. Look, most of us had no clue what came after "billion" before Obama. Understand that a "billion" if followed by 9 zeros, a "trillion" is followed by 12 zeros. We got carried away and added 15 zeros.
Thanks to William for his correction.

Douchbag agains proves he hasn't the level of an 8th grade education:
ReplyDelete40 billion is 2.4% of 1.65 trillion (.024)
Get and education and stop embarrassing yourself!
Ahhhhh so !! My point is exactly the same. Obama has promised next to nothing in terms of cuts, but you have apparently missed that point.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when you are talking "8th education," you might take a look at that last sentence and try to figure out what is wrong with it.
One more thing, Mr. Intellectual; before you read my article, you probably thought Obama was actually doing something with his "cuts."
ReplyDeleteWhat he has done is to take the car out of the ditch and over the cliff. Why not argue THAT point, Douchebag. But, of course, "issues" are not your thing, right?
Just in case you missed your moron moments (there were several), "Douchbag" is correctly spelled "Douchebag" with an "e." The sentence including "Get and education . . . " should have read "Get an education . . ." And, the first sentence should read "D . . . again proves . . . ," not "D . . . agains proves . . . ."
