“2.8 TRILLION?!?!?
WTH?!?!?!”
Harry Reid figured out a way recently to tack on another couple hundred billion in phony “cuts” by playing a new game with the 2011 baseline.
Obama gets his debt ceiling hike, Americans get the shaft.
Yup, government-speak 101—baseline budgeting. Add the extra spending from stimulus to baseline and a $900B INCREASE is CONSIDERED A CUT BY OMB?!?!?! Can’t decide if we are in Twilight Zone, 1984, Atlas Shrugged or ALL THE ABOVE :( eh, all the above!
