Wasn't particularly clever when Neil DeGrasse Tyson originally said it, and it's even less clever when you regurgitate it for lack of anything better to say. There's nothing you can point to in the federal budget that's worth cutting if that's the standard, including the oil company "subsidies" that Obama loves to bang on about. Ending those would only account for about two or three days worth of deficit spending at the current rate. That doesn't mean that they're not worth ending.
