I always chuckle when I hear politicians says something like "cutting this program is only going to save $x hundred thousand and the overall budget is $xxx million. It doesn't make any sense." It shows that they really don't have the will to make any cuts because they are totally afraid of hurting some part of their constituency. Find enough of the "small" cuts and it "adds up to real money".
The basic issue is politicians are more concerned about getting re-elected then about working for the people and, the voting public is ignorant because we keep putting the same people back in office.
