A close look at the government shutdown-dodging agreement to cut federal spending by $38 billion reveals that lawmakers significantly eased the fiscal pain by pruning money left over from previous years, using accounting sleight of hand and going after programs President Barack Obama had targeted anyway.

So not only was the *budget cut* thing amazingly insignificant, it's even more insignificant than it appears on the surface...it's like it's insignificant-squared.
It's like we're in a car going a hundred miles an hour towards a cliff and we slow it down to 99 mph....only we don't really slow it down to 99 mph, we just recalibrate the speedometer to make it appear that we've slowed down to 99 mph. <--that's some serious freaking leadership right there.
