Two weeks ago, when we commented on the biggest farce in financial thinking at the time (promptly replaced by the even more lunatic platinum coin "idea"), namely that one of the main "spending cut" proposals of the Obama administration, amounting to $290 billion, was the assertion that the US will save hundreds of billions because, get this, interest rates are now lower than they were before. We commented as follows:

What a way to run a government. Kneejerk reactions to one “crisis” after another. I don’t know if I can stand another four years of incompetent, Marxist hippies and professional college kids running the government of what once was the greatest country the world has ever known.
Unbelievable! What a bunch of incompetent boobs.
Detestable people. The lowest of the low. Guttersnipes. Trash sniffing trolls. Evil in its purest form.
this was no error.
they were told to sit on this until now. it only is being reported as an error.
Every member of the CBO should be fired for gross incompetence. The government bullies would certainly be hounding the bankers who would make much less egregious errors than this.
Of course, this was no “error” but another cover-up for the financial disasters proposed by Obama, just as the CBO did durning the ObamaCare debate when they said it wouldn’t cost a trillion dollars.
For comparison, when the Democrat controlled Congress replaced the GOP controlled Congress in January, 2007, the deficit was a 9-11 induced 165 billion AND SHRINKING.
Guess that deficits and debt are no big deal with a democratic admin.
I mean what's a few TRILLION dollars among friends?
Isn't it crazy that Ross Perot talked about the interest on the National debt of 4 trillion being "insane"?
Now obama spends that much in 2 years. The deficit. Not the debt.
And the DEBT is 17 TRILLION, and will be over 20 TRILLION by the time the next POTUS is inaugurated.
Is that classified as a government “whoopsie”?
Iirc. Cal is predicting a bigger deficit six weeks after voting tax increases
“600 billion here, 600 billion there, pretty soon your talking about real money.”
Every 5 Trillion dollars represents an inflation adjusted expenditure for the ENTIRE 4 YEARS of WWII.
Perdogg - can you re-post into breaking news — article too good to get lost over here to just the 9 of us.
You can always hit abuse and ask the mods to move it to breaking. Which it should be.
Now we know how Dark Helmet felt like in “Spaceballs”
Added news/current events and breaking news.
Damn them. I’ve already lost count over how many times they’ve “revised” 0bamacare costs upward. And this is the CBO? Good Lord.
The 9/11/2001 attack is still in progress led by democrats and Muslim Obama - a 12 year long Pearl Harbor.
This should be a teachable moment for Barry on what “math” is all about.
Unicorns. ... send in the unicorns.
