Obama's $17 Billion Budget Cuts In Context

While the president's $100 million dollar cuts weren't even a drop in a bucket, the $17 billion in cuts at least means something. But it's a far cry from the "net spending cuts" we were promised.

NOTE: Thank you to FactCheck.org for noticing an error in my arithmetic. The Bush budget was actually 12 gallons less than the Obama budget (not 9)... so the real difference is actually greater than the video portrays.

Maybe we should start with ridding ourselves of illegal immigrants who are taking from taxpayers and are not putting anything back in!

@2superstobie taxes are at there lowest in decades and barely any jobs are being created. where is your logic? also, everyone who works is taxed. even the working poor. so unless youre talking about unemployed people then the government does take our money to provide a safety net for the poor. i would like to hear how you think "Obama created a business atmosphere of uncertainty". lol

I also recommend watching (American soldiers speak out against the wars and accuse the government of crimes) Please watch the other one i suggested then you will see how your tax dollars really got wasted in the war effort in Iraq from people that was there. You will fall over.

I strongly recommend you go to these videos and see where your American tax dollars got wasted on big time.

(U.S soldiers against the Banksters War pt1)-pt4. Here you will see soldier eye witnesses explaining and film of the Iraq war, Poor living conditions for the troops, $20 for one load of washing, Blowing up near new army trucks to save changing a tyre, untreated water, and Halliburton the contract company throwing you $ down the toilet. Vote Ron Paul.
