Obama orders budget cut (1/35,000th)

[Warrior]

Cutting Pork (A republican suggestion) and cutting the budget (the President's suggestion) are both very very small savings in spending relative to the size of the Federal Budget, but Republicans only criticize one of the two approaches.

That's my point. Cutting both are good. I'm just pointing out hypocrisy.

I don't think Republicans are criticizing the general idea of budget cuts. lol.

They downplay the efforts based on the argument that it's small compared to the size of the overall Budget, yet they cry endlessly about Pork barrel spending which..also is small in size compared to the overall Budget.

@CrAz3D: The best way to avoid complaints of bias is to use news sources with a liberal bias, obviously. NPR is a good choice.

Liberal bias is also known as reality.

Pork can be lots of WASTEFUL (key term) spending though

Uh no. It's still a miniscule part relative to the whole budget, which is the core of this ridiculous argument.

Agreed.  We could cut a lot more in addition to the pork barrel.  Like welfare.

Welfare is fine, considering the return we get in GDP. Keynes at his finest.
