It’s not an “analogy.” It’s a truthful visual representation of the reality of the numbers.
But, if you want one, here’s an analogy for you:
Trying to bail out a basement being flooded by a broken water main...with a thimble...isn’t gonna work.
It looks like we’re pretty much done with the 2011 budget.
I think Boehner did OK, the dynamic has shifted to cutting as opposed to spending. I think it has laid the groundwork for Paul Ryan’s 2012 budget fight and the debt ceiling debate.
From your comments, I don’t expect either one of you to agree with me. No problem.
I’m just not so anxious to throw in the towel. I think Boehner, Cantor, and Ryan will do just fine until we can elect more conservatives in 2012.
