It was big news this week that Obama is cutting $17 billion from his budget. That's a whopping one-half of one percent of the budget. It's also only 4.25% of the INCREASE in the budget under Obama, and it's only 2.2% of the spendulus package. It's only .85% of 2009's deficit.
The most obam-inable part of this? Guess what areas Obama is making his cuts in? 50% of the savings come from defense's budget, that was not unexpected given his track record of making this country less safe. But guess which other department whose budget was slashed by a whopping 9 percent? The unit of the Department of Labor in charge of regulating labor unions!! Let's see, first this week he strong arms secured creditors of Chrysler in order to save the labor unions, and now he is slashing the budget of a group in charge of investigating corrupt union practices. Unbelievable.
