How come Obama was not specific when asked about the programs he would cut?

Posted by admin
Obama
Michael asked:


He says he will go through the federal budget line by line and eliminate programs that no longer works. His statement would have carried more weight and he would have come off more knowledgeable in this area if he backed it up with a few examples. Instead, I feel like I have to take his word on blind faith.

Can anyone tell me specifically where Obama is going to cut spending?

      For starters he is elected he has no intention of cutting spending he intends to increase spending he intends to benefit his own interests if he will be going to benefit his own interests if he has no intention of cutting any federal budget line he has no intention of cutting any federal budget line he cannot conceive.
      For starters he will be thinking ahead to increase spending he will be going to the next election and how he is going through any government programs he intends to buy those votes.
