Visualizing Obama's Budget Cuts

The point is, it's so easy to obfuscate when you are talking really BIG dollars. Or, actually, really big numbers of any kind. BP implies they are now Good Guys since they finally managed to get a bendy straw shoved into that hole they punched in the ocean floor, and are siphoning off . . . . (a really BIG number) of barrels a day.  Sounds like a lot, but it turns out that the gusher is still gushing and, if BPs siphoning off anything, it's not making much of a dent in the problem.
