President Barack Obama’s Misdirection

A major news story in recent days has been that President Barack Obama called together his Cabinet and instructed them to find $100 million in budget cuts in the coming months.  This has been heralded by many people as Obama getting “tough” and trying to solve the national debt crisis.

However, this $100 million is rarely compared to how much he is spending on bailouts and the stimulus plan… which is approaching $8 trillion dollars.  Yes, I said $8 trillion- not billion.  America is spending 80,000 times as much money as his measly $100 million cut.  That means Barack Obama could permanently reduce America’s budget by $100 million for 79,000 years and we still would have ten centuries to go before we paid back the nominal cash we spent in the last year and a half on bailouts & stimulus.

Let’s cut the BS, President Obama and be honest with the American people.  American spending & the national deficit are exploding completely out of your control.
