\t"Although the budget cuts would amount to a minuscule portion of federal spending, they are intended to signal the president’s determination to cut spending and reform government, the official said."<\/p>\n
\tThis would be laughable if it were not so sad. \u2757 \u2757 \u2757 <\/p>\n

Posted by:<\/strong> Skinny on May 21, 2012, 10:29 pm<\/p>\nFurthermore we now have a new norm for the Federal Budget.<\/p>\n
\tDuring Bush’s 8 years as President he had spending averaging in the $2+ trillion range.<\/p>\n
\tObama has elevated that to the $3.5+ trillion range. Suddenly $3.5+ trillion has become the new norm. Obama has the audacity to offer a .003% reduction in his already highly inflated budget.<\/p>\n
\tSo Obama will never cut enough from the new norm to bring us back to the "old" Bush levels. Never the less, Obama keeps blaming Bush for putting us in the mess we are in!<\/p>\n
\tAnd everyone complained that Bush spent too much!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

That should help with your new reduced budgets. If I see any US coupons up hear in the north that I can not use, I will gladly send them to you.<\/p>\n
\tGood luck with your new lower budgets.<\/p>\n

I’M BITING THE BULLET, ALSO. The President ordered the cabinet to cut $100,000,000.00 ($100 million) from the $3,500,000,000,000.00 ($3.5 trillion) federal budget.
