You've got to be joking, Mr. Obama!

Mr. Obama and staff have been poring over the federal budget for fiscal year 2010--the first budget that he will present to Congress as president--looking for places to cut and programs to end. They've finished their work. The cuts total--hold on to your hat--$17 billion in a budget that will be well over $3 trillion and more likely approaching $4 trillion when you add in all the "off budget" expenditures people in Washington like to hide from public view.

These "cuts" amount to a little more than one-half of one percent of the $3 trillion budget. So much for Mr. Obama's campaign promises to cut and end old and wasteful programs. According to Mr. Obama, everything else the federal government spends money on is essential and efficient.

This guy is no more serious about fiscal responsibility than was his dimwitted predecessor. Both are empty-headed spendthrifts and squanderers. The federal government is bankrupting itself and us along with it.
