No, it's not a joke. That's the graph of Obama's proposed budget cuts this year. Draconian, aren't they?

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

For those who cannot see the "green" do check out the article; it IS there it's so tiny it has to be magnified to be seen.
It's way beyond the "joke" level.  Obama is truly bamboozaling the populace at large. :mad:

Budget: $3.8 trillion.
Cuts: $775 million.

Million, billion, trillion... I'm convinced that to a lot of people all the "x"llions are the same. They don't grasp the enormity of the difference of 6 orders of magnitude between the two numbers. Now whether Obama does or not... I don't know.

Hope: hope for a miracle.
Change: Increase our deficits.

I'd say we got what the people voted for.

"We" didn't, the Other America did.

Every day it becomes more obvious that America is now two nations and that they are irreconcilable.  The sooner a quorum acknowledges this and acts accordingly the better chance we'll have of preserving some semblance of the Framers' vision.
