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.

Too bad Obama can't save like he spends. He is going to have to go for
the fat political turkeys to get the budget balanced.

Supporters also argue that the mere existence of Loran makes the GPS
satellite system a less attractive target for cyber-thugs, terrorists or
future military adversaries.

Probably does.

But no one ever accused Obama of thinking things through before his gums
move.

Have a hand held GPS, and rent boats when appropriate. Sort of silly for
me to own one at the moment being I live in a land locked area. Easier
to drive the 1600 km to my favorite fishing hole and rent one for a week
or two.

Right. Of course. Just like Skipper, you drive nearly 1000 miles to go
fishing. And you track your route on your hand-held GPS.

Yep. Bad day fishing on a boat is better than a good day a work.

I would kill before I let my fishing rods go.

...and if he did, I doubt he'd need Loran to navigate the Bow River.

Obama just saves 0.0022%. Big savers NOT.

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

their solution? well...they have none.

and what did bush do?

i'm sure he thought long and hard before he got us into a trillion
dollar war.

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.
