Budget!

[entropy156]

Here's a little visualization of the $100 million "budget cut" that Obama's loyal media minions were trumpeting a few weeks ago. For those who are whining about this being political content on my recently "non-political" journal...think of it as an economics post. I never said I woudn't make those, now, did I?

So many people hear "-illion" and then another "-illion" and just zone out; it all sounds the same to them, one big blur. They know it's way too much no matter what, or at least many of them do, but they have a real problem conceptualizing the problem and then communicating what they think of it to others. This little video does a great job of it. Hope you don't mind if I capture it for my blog -- people really need to see this. And why should anyone be upset if you blog something like this? Everything important is political, at least in the long run, and so what?

Here's another demonstration from pjtv.com showing, in physical terms, just how much money The One and his minions spent a few weeks ago. But this one has better production value, music, and Bill Whittle.

Like yours, it pretty good at getting you to wrap your head around 3.5 TRILLION dollars.
