It applies as funny in the same way the movie Idiocracy is funny. It is funny and scary at the same time.

I've seen these numbers before. You can do this each year and they just get bigger.

What is truly funny is when they claim to have made cuts and it turns out they planned on adding $100 million in new spending and instead they are only going to add $80 million in new spending. So they didn't really cut the budget at all, they just reduced how much they were planning on increasing it.
