Obama’s Spending vs Obama’s Spending Cuts — in Pictures

Sometimes perspective is helpful[^]

"To put those numbers in perspective, imagine that the head of a household with annual spending of $100,000 called everyone in the family together to deal with a $34,000 budget shortfall. How much would he or she announce that spending had to be cut? By $3 over the course of the year–approximately the cost of one latte at Starbucks. The other $33,997? We can put that on the family credit card and worry about it next year" There is one thing wrong with that extended metaphor. In truth "Dad" has decided not to put the shortfall on the family credit card, but on one he took out for his five and eight year olds. Nonetheless, I loved it. I especially love the amount of airtime these draconian measures will be given by the media.
