See The Sliver?

In case you cant read the breakout: blue=Obama's 2011 revenue...red=Obama's 2011 budget deficit (shortage) and the green=Obama's budget cuts.


Where's the "green" you ask--here it is--graph is zoomed in 10X.....look real hard....still can't see it?
OK, we will magnify it another 10X for you to see it...yup, that's Scooter's proposed 2011 budget cuts!

It equates to .05 % of the budget, yes, POINT ZERO FIVE PER CENT or $775 million dollars of the total deficit. From the man who recently gave us "we have to make tough choices", "there will be shared sacrifice", "we are going to have to tighten our belts"...WOW..

To compare, Congressman Rand Paul (R) proposed $500 billion in cut. Mr. Paul's number is 645X of that of Pres. Obama! Even if those were to be enacted, it would still only close the deficit by 1/3.

Folks, we simply are in deep trouble.

Let's bring this down to a discussion of comparative numbers the average family could relate to:
  • If your household income is $75,000, you would have to trim $12.92 from your annual spending.

Clearly, GW Bush started the spending fire. Obama then requested aerial support, unfortunately the tankers arrived with gasoline. Last November, America requested a hatchet, Barack shows up waving his scalpel. Now you know why yesterday's Galllup poll results shows King Spendthrift with a 27% approval rating on handling the deficit, read here . Take a close look at that poll--he is below 50% approval on every issue impacting America, but all the lamestream media reports is his "personal popularity" rating. America elected a rock star, not a problem solver, and Obama delivered for you.

Once again, watch not what this man says, watch we he does. He wants to cut $775 million while simultaneously sending Conductor Joe Biden on the road to trump a $54 billion dollar railroad boondoggle and he himself heads to Michigan to fund $18 billion for rural broadband. Might as well have said, "Hey honey, what do you mean we are 4 months in arrears on our utility bill--go turn off the night light in the spare bedroom and let's go party"!

(PS..my apologies to the First Lady for using a 'pie' chart. I fully understand every rugrat will now be craving a slice).
