The headline yesterday was "Obama orders cabinet to cut $100 million from the budget." While $100 million is a huge sum of money, it's not much in the overall scheme of Obama budgeting. On a $3.6 trillion budget, it still leaves $3.599 trillion being spent. Doesn't sound like such a big cut now, does it? Now if we change the million to billion, we'd at least start getting somewhere, but with the number Obama threw out, it's kind of like Mr. Essie May telling me I really need to cut back -- "You're going to have to cut fifty cents a month from your budget, Essie May," and expecting that's really going to change things. If Obama seriously thinks this is a big savings move, he's not very bright. If he doesn't think so, he's being deceitful. Either way, he's not much of a leader.
