One half of one percent

POTUS: $17 Billion is 'A Lot of Money' headlines ABC on Obama's budget cutting announcement.

"We can no longer afford to spend as if deficits do not matter and waste is not our problem," Obama said.

Obama is spending $3,500 billion this year. He has proposed literally trillions in new spending initatives. We will have taxpayer funded abortions in DC, a huge new healthcare entitlement, more spending on domestic issues, on top of one trillion in Government pork spending mis-labelled as 'stimulus'.

"The $17 billion in cuts add up to roughly one half of one percent of the $3.55 trillion budget."

Such great efforts, presented as accomplishments, producing a marvel of underachievement.
