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. But no one ever accused Obama of thinking things through before his gums move. and what did bush do? i'm sure he thought long and hard before he got us into a trillion dollar war. |
