OBAMA'S LACK OF SERIOUSNESS

After proposing a 3.7 trillion dollar budget (a budget bigger than all previous presidents' budgets COMBINED) he went out on tax day (April 15th) and said our government has spent too much money in the past and have not been responsible stewards of tax payers money.

Talk about chutzpah!

More recently, he has requested a 100 million dollar budget cut. Are you kidding me?

Here is a diagram from The Heritage Foundation that demonstrates the insignificance of his proposed tax "cuts."



Brian Riedl is a Grover M. Hermann fellow in Federal Budgetary Affairs at the Heritage Foundation and frames the significance this way:

· It is 1/40,000 of the federal budget;

· It is 1/7,830 the size of the recent “stimulus” bill;

· It would close 1/1,845 of this year’s budget deficit;

· It is the amount the federal government spends every 13 minutes; and

· For a family earning $40,000 annually, it is the equivalent of cutting $1 from their family budget. (Bold emphasis is mine- HH)
