Slow News Day

Today has been what they call a slow news day. With the exception of the release of the final Obama budget. Which still surpasses 3.4 trillion dollars. That's

$3,400,000,000,000

Just in case anyone is wondering.

And out of all that? The messianic one figured out how to cut 17 billion from his first budget. Two points: First, the majority of this pitiful little slice of Washington, come from defense cuts.

Second, $17 billion dollars is equivalent to the cost of a hamburger in the overall relationship of the average person's annual salary. Less than one half of one percent. Wow! I am whelmed.
