Video Visualizes Obama’s Proposed $100 Million in Budget Savings
Tuesday November 23rd, 2010 • Posted by David Theroux at 9:13pm PDT • 3 Comments
In response to growing public opposition to the gigantic spending by the federal government, President Barack Obama in 2009 called on his Cabinet to identify a combined $100 million dollars in budget cuts compared to the $3.5 trillion federal budget as a whole (not including the $787 “stimulus package” or the $83 billion in additional spending for the war in Iraq). This insightful video imagines the U.S. government budget as $100 in pennies to provide the answer and visualizes the scale of what is really going on. As a result, this video has gone viral on YouTube.

I didn’t vote for this president and I don’t see him having the apptitude nor the cooperation of the rest of the parasites we call government to be able to stop this runaway train created by the very people you praise.. put the blame where it belongs and for Gods sake the last thing we need is a Regan or Bush like person taking advantage of what’s left of America.. They’ve ALL SCREWED US INTO THE DIRT...

Richard; please look at the spending of Reagan before asking for another one. Reagan had the worst spending record of ANY president. Thanks to George W Bush, he didn’t keep that record long. Thanks to Obama, George is set to loose his record soon.
