What do you expect from a Harvard Graduate? Ever hear about the Store Clerk at the Express Checkout (20 items or less) at a grocery Store in Cambridge, MA?
Clerk - Hey, idiot are you a student at MIT or Harvard?
College Student - Huh?
Clerk - Either you are a Harvard student and cannot do Math or a MIT student and cannot read.
College Student - Huh?
It must have been Obama!
Is that a joke? Get big government out of our lives.
Oh they’re cutting. Now they’re targeting in-theater hazard pay for our military troops.
I agree that Draconian cuts are in order: let’s KILL useless government agencies and departments. We’ll start with the EPA, Department of Education, Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services. Shutter them all and let these overpaid, insufferable government drones find out what unemployment is like. These paper shufflers couldn’t get a job at Burger King because that would take too much original thought and effort on their parts.
“The $30.4 billion bill is $2.9 billion less than was appropriated for 2013. If my always-suspect English-major math is correct, that $2.9 billion represents a full 0.08 percent of 2012 federal outlays.”
$2.9 billion is 8.7% of $33.9 billion (the 2012 outlay based on 30.4 + 2.9).
So, yes, his English-major math IS suspect.
This may be a reasonable cut, but let’s not shoot ourselves in the foot by arguing that particular cuts are a hundred times less than they really are.
We should cut the parts of the budget that are unconstitutional. The Left will scream bloody murder no matter what we do,so we might as well do something meaningful.
