She framed the cuts as $775 million per year. $775 million in cuts this year against a 1.6trillion deficit is chicken dung. The total Obama “tough choice cuts” added up to this. In fact, in later years, the cuts stay in but spending on other crap goes up. Obama raises taxes by 2 trillion over the next 10 years, but only gets 1.5 tril in deficit reductions.

Blog pimps are trying to parse it so it looks like she’s wrong, to no avail of course.

Will you please read the article? $775 Million is only the total of THREE proposed cuts, not the whole total of all the proposed cuts:

"But in his piece, Lew only picked three examples that added up to $775 million -- rather the administration's cuts are more in the rage of $75 billion."

Go back and read the original piece where the $775 Million figure came from. It is clear that Sarah did not do her homework here.
