Ok so last year departments like EPA for example were given a over 20% increase in budget spending so compare that to an average of 4% give or take for yearly increase and they are YEARS ahead of normal budget increase guidlines. So this "freeze" doesnt affect 60% of our spending (Veterans, Pentagon, Social Security, Medicare, aid for other nations and so on) but the 40% he "froze" is far and away better off than they should have been to begin with. Way to go Obama.........your a real piece of work.

It might be wise for Dr. Strangelove to wait until the plan is actually announced before he tells us what's wrong with it.
