I was curious about this money he’s spending when a guy I work with said, “Wow, he’s got the gov cutting 100 million bucks!”

Out of curiosity, using the figure of 3.6 Trillion (wasn’t that what the budget was?), I messed with a spread sheet a bit.

If you put 100 million in each cell of row 1, columns A through T, you get 2 billion dollars, adding the row.

To get to 3.6 trillion, you must put 100 million into each row (column A through T), down to row 1800!

So you must put 100,000,100 into 36,000 cells to add up to 3.6 trillion dollars. Now delete ONE cell. That’s his big cut.

Most reporters can't do math - so they'll be impressed with Obama's bit "cut"...
