BCT Editorial – 4/23/09This page was last updated on April 24, 2009. Paltry; Editorial; Beaver County Times; April 23, 2009. Here’s another stat the editorial didn’t mention. $100 million is only about 0.0029% of President Obama’s first budget. That’s less than one-third of one-hundredth of a percent. Don’t think the Times is turning on Mr. Obama, though. Even a person’s staunchest supporters have a limit on how much they will be embarrassed, and almost everyone recognized the $100 million in spending cuts was a joke. © 2004-2009 Robert W.
