Gee, Forbes just glommed on to what Rush has been saying for weeks.
I learned about the "baseline budgeting" scam from Rush over 15 years ago. I always thought it was something he should refresh at least once a month.
No way will the politicians dump this scam - - it's perfect for them because it allows them to talk out both sides of their mouths. If they vote for a cut in the "rate of growth", they can claim they "cut" spending. ...But spending will in fact go up (just not as much as the "baseline budget" called for) so they can also turn around and claim they didn't cut spending.
It's a brilliant scam. ...both sides of their mouths, depending on who the audience is on any particular day.
