ROTFLMAO!! Can't stop the politics can he. It was him and his Republican congress that out spent the last 3 administrations combined, now he's all for "cutting". Oh I forgot, he usually sends requests for "additional" spending once congress is about to go into recess and makes sure his cronies are there to rubberstamp his police state funding.
I think he's telling the new Congress that they can't spend money for local projects, they have to keep giving it to Halliburton.
