Just passing this along from Kevin Drum. Like him, and an awful lot of other people, I don't believe anyone promising to cut government waste or demanding others cut it should be given the time of day unless and until they can give a single example of actual, you know, waste.
Pissing away one four millionth of the budget isn't going to cut it. Drum's example gets the job done expertly; a more cider-related analogy (and we're all about the cider here, Gods know) would be demanding a serving wench be replaced because she spills one millilitre for every ten thousand pints she pulls.
