2011 Budget Cut Graph

Can’t see the budget cuts? Okay, we’ve magnified the above chart by 10 and if you look close you can see it. As one economist has worked out, if you had a budget of $2000 a month and you cut the same percentage as the federal budget you would be cutting .06 cents. That’s right, out of $2000 you would have to make do by slashing your budge to a mere $1999.94. There goes the luxuries, the discretionary spending and those little perks that your .06 cents once bought you. Now you see how much sacrifice the federal government is going through to reduce the trillions in debt.
