Just heard this on the radio.

The vaunted Budget Agreement, the largest spending cut in history will actually reduce spending this year by 350 million dollars, less than 1% of the 38 billion claimed to have been cut.

But by 2016, all the actual cuts, about 20 billion dollars will have been realized.

Because a lot of those cuts, was money that was never going to be spent.
