Planned Parenthood is evidently like .008% of the budget. I was being generous with rounding them both up to be .02% of the budget.
Compared to say the DoD Special Projects Fund or doing something about interest on DoD debt that is nearly as high as the DoDs annual budget(not taking into account the Special Projects Fund, DARPA, or shared budget items like nuclear weapons upkeep).
Half a trillion dollars on DoD debt interest, an undisclosed amount believed to be in the neighborhood of $350 billion going into a slush fund for a department that already gets $750 billion in budget allocation, and $2.3 trillion just gone most likely spread out to other countries used to cause the collapse of another countries economy.
So I find it odd that Romney or anyone would go after $300ish million that is actually productive when there are so many opportunities to cut much more.
I would also guess that the Special Projects slush fund is sitting with money in it. Curious why Social Security is always the first account to be plundered.
