The “Dumbing Down of America” is reaping its rewards.
Excellent article. The author is able to expose and translate his code words very clearly.
With the Federal Government spending $4 1/2 trillion out of our $14 trillion GDP, they could say tax loopholes cost “us” $9 1/2 trillion last year. I suspect I could “invest” 15 minutes and find some democrat who actually did.
• Spending Reductions in the Tax Code means more tax increases. President Obama likes to wear the mantle of spending cuts, but lacks the courage to call a tax increase what it really is.
I remember that “investment” as code for heavy government spending was used by Clinton. At that time, I remember thinking how Orwellian this misuse of language was. That was, of course, before the adjective “Clintonian” came into common usage.
Obama’s most used trickery is to obfuscate a negative/defining truth by poking fun or using sarcasm. It is an ‘Alinsky Truth’. The mark of a con man.
