Obama's "budget cuts"

Heard $100 million on the radio, and figured it had to have been the announcer screwing up.

No, I looked up the news story. It's $100 million. Or for those keeping track, about 0.003 percent of the Federal budget. Someone pointed out that John Murtha brought more pork than that to his district in 2008.

To put it another way, if you spent $50,000 every year in your household, this would be like skipping a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

I assume this is just a symbolic start to the process. We'll see.
