Obviously deeply concerned about out-of-control federal spending, this morning President Obama directed his Cabinet to cut a total of $100,000,000 from the budgets of their respective agencies.
The cut of $100,000,000 represents just under 0.003% of Obama’s $3,500,000,000,000 budget. It is enough to pay the interest on the federal debt for two hours and eight minutes.
