100 Million of 3.5 Trillion is 0.0029%. In this demonstration 5 pennies = $2 Billion, therefore 1 penny = $400 Million, therefore Yes 1/4 penny = $100 Millon.

In other terms 8,800 pennies x 0.0029% = 0.25 pennies

And how about we make the Obamas pay for their own vacations? Its a little insensitive to spend $500,000 of taxpayers’ money for Mrs. Obama to take a trip!

If the private sector would keep up with the government and paid their workers what government was paid, their would be extra revenue in the form of taxes to add another 100B.

At Least.

How interesting that I am sure you want American labor to stoop to Chinese wage levels too. Then we can ‘save’ all kinds of money, yes? Private labor stoops to China, gubment stoops to private and by extension, China. Congratulations! We are now (most of us) China!

100 million is 2.2% of 3.5trillion. 2.2% of 8800 pennies is 193 pennies. Did I miss something in the video?

The fed payroll is roughly $200 billion/yr. If we reduce those wages & benefits to a level on par with workers in the private sector, we would save well over $100 billion/yr.

stop sending money to foreign countries that hate us, collect money from the oil countries that we saved with our military. Collect all debts and unpaid collections from government suppliers

Nicely done.. Amazing how many voters are simply not educated enough to know when they’re being had. And how insulting this type of thing is to us EDUCATED types.

I like your creativity and attempt to put things in perspective. If they cancelled a few simple items such as(WH Easter Egg hunt, bottled water for the congress, some congressional “fact finding” trips) the money saved would start to add up. The idea that all of the money needs to come from one program only creates resentment.
