What budget cuts?

From 1993 to 2002 the federal government spent $17 trillion. During the past 10 years the federal government spent $30 trillion - almost doubling spending from decade to decade. The House budget proposes spending $40 trillion during the next 10 years. President Obama wants to spend $47 trillion. There are no overall cuts, just an attempt to reduce the rate of growth in spending so we don’t bankrupt this nation.
