The $2,000,000 'cut' being roughly the same size as the $2,200,000,000 cut makes total sense.

I mean, it's only 11,000 TIMES more money, so it should be a similar size in our diagram

That's leaving aside how nebulous the concept of 'extraneous government spending' is ... at it's heart.

One person's 'extraneous spending' is someone else's 'baby's life-saving heart-transplant', for example.
