Making Sense of the Numbers – Obama Cuts Edition
We’re big on making the numbers real around here – such as by giving you the cost per family and per person of the bills moving through Congress.
Well here’s a video that illustrates some very interesting things about President Obama’s pledge to cut $100 million dollars from the federal budget.
But there’s a problem with this video. President Obama told each of his Cabinet members to come up with $100 million in savings.
There are 15 Cabinet-level agencies, so that’s $1.5 billion dollars – three and three-quarters of a penny from the table covered in stacks of pennies.
Now we’re talking results! The federal deficit is coming right under control!
