To better understand how BIG these cuts are, strip 8 zeros off of each of those numbers that no one can comprehend.

3.5 trillion dollars of spending becomes 35000 dollars and 38.5 billion becomes becomes 38 dollars of cuts.

In other words a spending habit of $35000 is lowered by $38 dollars!

Only Washington politicians can make the argument that this is a BIG cut.....

BTW that is about a 0.1% cut.
