WASHINGTON (AP) -- Cut a latte or two out of your annual budget and you've just done as much belt-tightening as President Barack Obama asked of his Cabinet on Monday.
The thrifty measures Obama ordered for federal agencies are the equivalent of asking a family that spends $60,000 in a year to save $6.
Obama made his push for frugality the subject of his first Cabinet meeting, ensuring it would command the capital's attention. It also set off outbursts of mental math and scribbled calculations as political friend and foe tried to figure out its impact.
The bottom line: Not much.This ain't "Limbaugh's stack" it's ABC News via Real Clear Politics, but since we have a Hugo Chavez wannabe running this board...whatever floats your boat, Mr. Communist. You run your board just like your hero runs his country.
