"Cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation and education is like lightening an overloaded airplane by removing its engine. It may make you feel like you're flying high at first, but it won't take long before you feel the impact"
- Barack Obama

It is comparing the deficit to an overloaded plane, and the cuts to the engine of the aircraft. The metaphor suggests that while the cuts might make it appear like the deficit is being decreased, the long-term impacts will be felt soon after. The lack of financial investments in development and education will have a negative influence on the economy, causing a decrease in efficiency and growth.
