Speaking at the 2010 Tea Party convention in Nashville, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin told the nearly 600 teabaggers in attendance that the Obama administration’s 2011 federal budget was “immoral” because it increases the national debt.
Instead of just criticizing the Obama administration’s 2011 budget, maybe she’d like to share with everyone how she would balance the 2011 federal budget. The New York Times has an interactive chart that shows were all the money will go.
What exactly would she like to cut?
How about the $738 billion that we will be spending on defense? The thing is, most of the yearly federal budget isn’t up to the president. Most of the budget is controlled by existing federal law. Other then military spending, not much can be cut by whoever is sitting in the White House. If Sarah Palin would like Obama to make drastic cuts to the military, maybe she ought to tell everyone.
