My thoughts were, how do you CUT spending by over 100%???

You can't "not spend" more than you were spending.

Well, that is what I was taught too but nearly everyday now I hear a news report with terms like "500 times smaller" or "300 percent less" so apparently the old rules don't apply anymore. Whenever I question this sort of construction some supposed scientist or engineer proceeds to lambast me for being out of date or something. I suppose I will have to go back to school to learn the new math.
