President Saves World! Details at 10

While it is unclear whether this Administration understands how to manage the free world, they are quite adept at managing headlines. The President today called for $100 million in budget cuts, prompting the usual headlines about "fiscal responsibility" and "reform." I did the math and these proposed cuts are the equivalent to the average household cutting annual spending by 99 cents. Can you imagine a headline like "Illinoistom makes hard choices, cuts annual spending by 99 cents?" Which is why I always tell my son to read past the headlines, you might be surprised to find the truth buried in the story.
