This administration just simply thinks the majority of the population is not bright enough to realize instinctively that his $100 million budget cut is nothing in relation to the big picture. President Obama hopes the public will just go gaga over the figure because it sounds impressive.

That’s why marketing uses the ploy of pricing an item at $9.99 vice $10.00 sells faster, because the mind tricks the individual there is a greater savings than there really is.

Especially if you buy these products in different states with different tax rates the price will different and in some the $10.00 price would be a savings in a state with a 2% tax rate vice a state with a 4% tax rate.

Then why does President Obama not get it that he won the electroial collage, but the spread in the popular vote was much closer. In fact 57 million voters did not vote for President Obama and there is a large percentage of the population that did not vote, who if they did would not have voted for President Obama.

President Obama won the key states, but not the minds of the population he leads. Does this explain the speed you are trying to solidify control of the banking system and directing those agencies within his cabinet to change their rules to control the majority he knows is starting to form in opposition to his political ambitions.

Obama’s “tic” or “MO” or “tell” should now be obvious to any sentient being. He says one thing and does something 3200 mils out (180 degrees for you civilians) and all with a straight face.

The .0029% spending cut must minimally equate to the required minimum payment on the compounded interest on the national debt balance to match what every American with credit experience knows to be requirement #1.

But then, the Ugly American Ivy League Socialism elitists live above the law of gravity on their pie in the sky eating our cake and having it all at our expense. Rule of Law never applies to a Socialist until it is THEIR law that has replaced the US Constitution.

BTW, in order to coerce us all into their subjugation, the Ivy League via their college drop-out wannabe caused global warming that doesn’t exist. Being economic lords isn’t enough for them; nothing less than god status will do. Obama’s authoritarian presidency is already reenacting the terror of fascism on our nation. It’s the global warming “issue” that substantiates Obama’s budget rationale and Pelosi’s legislation agenda.

Where Bush Sr. said, “Read My Lips: No New Taxes” the Obama team is chanting “Your Taxes Are Cut” while raising them to pay for “Your Tax Stimulus Package”.

P.S. He’s not “cutting” anything. He’s redirecting the money into Energy, and Foreign Policy. OMG This guy must be stopped. He’s bankrupting our beloved country.

[...] Obama demands 0.0029% budget cut after running up spending How can Barack Obama demonstrate his fiscal-responsibility creds after pushing through Porkulus, a pork-filled omnibus spending plan, and a $3.5 trillion budget that far outstrips even the last spending plan from the Democratic-controlled Congress?

Obama has done just that — with cuts that amount to a whopping 0.0029% of the budget Obama just pushed Congress to provide him: [...]
