Millions, Billions, Trillions - Political Punch
"$17 billion is without question real money, and it means something, though within the context of the president's budget it's less than one half of one percent of the total budget.

And it's about 1.4 percent of the projected deficit for 2010 of $1.17 trillion.

And as the Wall Street Journal points out, the president's proposed 'cuts are outweighed by proposals to spend more on an array of programs and regulatory functions.' The budget for the Federal Railway Administration budget is increased, for instance, from $1.8 billion to $2.7 billion.

Whether or not $17 billion is a lot of money in spending cuts depends, of course, on what one compares it to -- and who's doing the comparing."

"Great Leader" must assume we voters are economic morons or...... "Great Leader" is an economic moron.

I vote.

I'm not an economic moron.

"Great Leader" is and he's misjudged Americans.... I hope!
