President Obama said he'd take a scalpel to the budget instead of a machete. So far, though, he appears to be wielding a butter knife - trimming little more than soft edges.
The White House insists they're meeting the Republicans half way on budget cuts, but the numbers simply don't add up.
The Democrats' $51.3 billion is about half of the Republicans' $102.3 billion, so they're "meeting the Republicans half way.As for apparel retailers like Guess and cheap true religion who have built their companies on jeans," Right? Wrong.Can't find a particular pair of ed hardy jeans on our website? What makes this nonsense is the fact that BOTH parties are using fake numbers. The $40.8 billion in savings used by Democrats and Republicans is imaginary -- it's not cuts, it's the amount that would be saved by a freeze compared to a 2011 proposed budget that never came close to being enacted.
Without that imaginary $40.8 billion, the real numbers are Democrats: $10.we've already seen three classic Air max classic models in their flagship colorways release.5 billion; Republicans: $61.5 billion. So Democrats are meeting them one-sixth of the way.
At first glance, this list gives the appearance that they're busy trimming newly-found lard. In fact, though, all of these items are ALREADY in the president's 2011 or 2012 budgets. Nothing new here.
Many of the other "new" cuts are essentially "earmarks" -- specially-targeted spending that the president has already vowed to eliminate.
And then there's a cut of $280 million for the cancellation of the "ARC Tunnel." What's that? It's the "Access to the Region's Core" commuter tunnel that was supposed to be built under the Hudson River connecting New Jersey and Manhattan. But it was already cancelled -- last year -- by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Republicans say the White House proposal is "unserious" and "indefensible." Hardly an auspicious start to finding an agreement to avoid a government shutdown,D&G shoes are famours far and wider for their unque technics,exquisite shape,brihgt color and rich culture. with another deadline now two weeks away.
But there's little doubt the White House wants very badly to avoid a shutdown, fearing it will stall the economic recovery.Gucci men shoes from the latest collection. So somewhere in the West Wing, or deep in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, OMB staffers are no doubt sharpening their budget cutting knives, because the White House's first step in this budget battle is not going to cut it.
