The chart uses a bad y-axis, which decreases the apparent difference between before and after. The important point is that the “after cuts” column is actually about $7.5 trillion higher than the current spending for 2010-2011, which makes me wonder why the legislators thing there are ANY cuts in spending involved here.

Because the .gov doesn’t use real-world standards. Instead, they base it off of the current budget, and any decrease in the expected increase is called a “cut”.
The first thing we need to do is get the .gov off of this baseline budgeting farce. Then we need to get the .gov to use standard accounting methods, rather than the current method.
Right now, FedGov financial practices are a farce.

Since “central planning” became all the rage back around 1900, we’ve have nothing but a constant string of “budget cuts”. “Budget cuts” sure are getting expensive.

I wish my company would cut my salary that way.

Markie Marxist sez: “We don’t want spending cuts, we want spending increases until we get America up to the 100% taxation that is communism. My commie compadres in Congress understand that, and that’s why they use baseline budgeting to increase spending – it’s helping us to communize America. It’s just common communist sense to use baseline budgeting and screw the American taxpayer out of as much money as we can.”
