I keep seeing varying amounts for the amount of spending in this bill. Some say $400 Billion, some say $738 Billion. What gives ?
The widely varying price tag is what happens when the document is partly written in disappearing or invisible ink, which magically shifts depending on the target reader.
Legerdemain is the ruling factor here. The numbers are dexterously switched and the means to pay for all this is hidden in a complex means of double-entry bookkeeping meant to conceal rather than explain.
