Sorry, but I’ve never understood the “it’s only $XX amount” mentality

When you’re hemorraging money, when you’re in debt up to your eyeballs (and trust me,,, I’ve Been There/ Done That/ Got the T-Shirt) every nickle counts

I’m sure there are other places that are NON Gov’t funded that can and do “train young people to be better leaders in government.

Every penny counts. I won’t question that. But when all budget cuts are done on penny-sized items only, to pay a huge debt (like the USA debt), you either need to cut A) thousands of penny-sized items or B) look hard at the bigger sized items to cut from.

Cutting penny-sized items is the easy way out: I doubt the USA budget has enough of these to balance it.
