Fortune magazine ranks White House proposed spending cuts as one of this year's "Dumbest moments in business"

Fortune magazine just released an online article entitled Dumbest Moments in Business 2009...Midyear Edition, and it is just hilarious.

Scroll down to item 10 and you will find this:
You're eight months behind on your $500,000 mortgage, your bank is demanding a meeting, and you respond by telling them there's nothing to worry about. Why not? Because you just saved $40 by canceling your newspaper subscription.

That, essentially, is the kind of fast budget talk President Obama trotted out in April when he made a big to-do out of instructing his cabinet to cut $100 million from their budgets.
