RSSObama Claims to Have Delivered on Pledge for $100M in Cuts
Carolyn Hileman - The Voice | July 29, 2009
WASHINGTON — It’s not real money as measured by the Washington adage of “$1 billion here and $1 billion there,” but President Obama’s Cabinet has just claimed to deliver on his demand for $100 million in budget savings.
The release came late Monday with little of the fanfare that accompanied Obama’s promise to deliver the savings, which was greeted with considerable ridicule since it amounted to a pledge to cut about $1 for every $10,000 of the $1 trillion budget for agency budgets approved by Congress in March.
That represented the equivalent of cutting a foot-long submarine sandwich from the budget of a construction worker making $60,000 a year.
