The fine print and programmatic details of President Obama's proposed fiscal 2010 budget runs 1,380 pages in an appendix, with each and every page worth a perusal, OMB director Peter Orszag told a press briefing this morning.
Asked by a reporter to identify highlights in that heavyweight tome, Orzag declined to do so, saying he found the entire volume "scintillating."
I've been plowing through budget materials all day, and I would call it a "grueling" rather than a "scintillating" exercise.
