Amazing AP article says Wonderboy wants to cut agencies’ spending by $100 million over a year or multiple years. You look at it and first figure that it’s the usual idiot journalist confusing millions and billions. But no, it really means $100 million, and notes that this is 1/20 of 1% of the federal deficit for March 2009, alone.LA replies:
