True. I think the best comparison to look at is savings per person. This is about 3 cents per person per year. That's still a positive but we know there are higher value cuts to be made.
I think they are trying to message that some of their cuts aren't controversial so the dems have to agree that some of it makes sense. But the larger higher value things to be cut are going to be controversial. They need to embrace it. You can cut 100 billion without it effecting someone. At minimum some of the people on the receiving end. But that's closer to the scale their actions should be targeting. I thing 1B is the smallest we should even hear about.
