[Your Nightmare]

You'd better read more than just that single sentence, since the paper clearly indicates that 23% is right on the money

Quote the exact language where "the paper clearly indicates that 23% is right on the money."

did you know that Congress may decide to freeze spending at the 2006 level which would be right at 23%

You are asking me if I knew that Congress may decide to freeze spending at the 2006 level? Did you know that Jackass: Number Two may win the Oscar for Best Picture? It's true.

or perhaps they'll surprise everyone and cut spending further

Congress cut spending? When did this happen?

Is it really true that you were featured in "Jackass Number Two"???

Read the paper yourself and see if you can't understand why you're wrong (again).
