Killing Loran-C will save the government $190 million over five years,

paradoxically has increased the importance of maintaining Loran as a
backup.


Somehow Obama is being a real jerk in insulting our intelligence. Even
if we are gullable to believe it costs $190 million over 5 years to
keep, lets do some math.

38 million a year savings (questionable).

Obama overspend, $1.7 trillion, 2010 only.

Obama just saves 0.0022%. Big savers NOT.

Obama needs to find and execute some 44736 such savings this year to
balance the budget.


notice that, even when obama cuts spending, the right cant stop
bitching?

their solution? well...they have none.


You are pathetic with math. There is about the same impact to peeing in
the ocean than what this cut represents to the US budget debt issues.

Save a penny and debt spend a $100... the Obama way.
