Video: Obama’s Budget Proposal: What could you do with $3.73 trillion?

Washington, D.C., February 18, 2011 | Patrick
On Monday, President Obama sent his FY2011 budget proposal to Congress. Simply said, this $3.73 trillion proposal spends too much, borrows too much, and taxes too much. Meanwhile, House Republicans have worked this week to make $100 billion in cuts to current year spending – and we’re just getting started. This is a down payment on the long term deficit reduction plan we will undertake beginning with the budget process in March.

I’d like to share the following video with you – where just some simple math helps put the massive size of the President’s budget into perspective.  If you like it, please pass it along to your family and friends.  And as always, I’d love to hear your feedback.
