    A college student "explains our Federal Budget" and the portion that must be borrowed in simple terms for everyone, plus his visual aid example easily demonstrates the $100 million cut that the President promised as savings.

    Click on this link and be amazed. Watch it twice to enjoy the simplicity.
    Then decide if it is time to write and call your Senator for a stop to deficit spending.

    $100,000,000 out of $3.5 trillion.

    That's like if you owed someone $35,000, and you gave them one dollar as payment.

    Or you're in charge of a department with a $35,000 budget and you are instructed to do some trimming back. And you trim a dollar, boss probably wouldn't be too impressed.

    Yeah, this whole budget thing is scary.

    And your link is a year old, probably much worse by now.
