Nobody is trying to reduce expenses in Washington. Someone needs to ask him if there was actually $60 billion in cuts how many days of federal expenditures that equals to. Since I have never seen his college transcripts so I’m unsure if Obama can do math so could someone tell him $60 billion is about 36 hours of spending?

Note that he has no plans. He has no ideas. He is all woulda, gonna, shoulda with nothing behind anything.

He is BABBLING!!!!!

To: isthisnickcool; All

There are a couple of ways to look at your request.

Current projections are $1.6 TRILLION in deficit for this fiscal year; in February alone, the deficit was $238 BILLION.

Total budget for 2011 is $3.73 TRILLION (I think - hard to tell since Obama and the Democrats refused to propose or pass a budget before the elections)

1. By the first measure, 60/1600 = 3.75% which is 13.7 days of borrowing (not of total gov’t spending)

2. By the second measure, 60/240 = 25% of February, or 7 days’ deficit spending.

3. By the third measure, 60/3730 = 1.6% = 5.9 days of government spending.

So, shut down the government for 1 week and you have largely saved the $60 billion the Republicans are proposing.

Just saying...;)
