Way to Cut the Budget, Republicans!

This made me laugh and laugh. The Republicans actually increased the budget by $3 billion beyond the original budget. Good job!

This year's big spending cut bill that prevented a government shutdown by slashing the federal budget and allowing Republicans to make good on their campaign promises actually -- wait for it -- increased federal spending by $3 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

You read that right. Had the federal budget for the remainder of 2011 remained untouched, the government would have spent $3 billion less through September than it will now spend under the Republican-driven course "correction."

Keep going! You're doing great!

Adding... Stimulus!
