Billy Long is bragging at CPAC about $100 billion in spending cuts that totals nine days of government spending. Nine days--how is this going to save this great Republic from the crushing national debt that now totals over $14 trillion. Using Larry the Cable Guy, Congressman bragged about these minimal budget cuts--cuts Conservative should be questioning since they amount to so little. Do you understand $100 billion isn't even .5% of the national debt?
"We worked all day yesterday, we had meeting after meeting, to get this $100 billion we promised we would cut," said Rep. Billy Long, R-Mo. "As Larry the Cable Guy would say, we got 'er done. Trouble is, $100 billion is like throwing a deck chair off the Titanic, so we've got to work harder."
Meanwhile, Rand Paul in the Senate has $500 billion in cuts planned. Like the Pledge to America promised $100 billion, which Slate, we still don't know what has been cut. At least Rand Paul is telling us what is getting cut in his plan.
