Yeah, REALLY.
My numbers come from the State of Alaska Office of Management & Budget archives. You're quoting Barack Obama's numbers, some that they even admit are "guestimated".
You people crack me up.
let’s take a look at Al’s original “evidence.” please note the key word in his claimed “correct” information.
Al:

Al B. to Calif Conservative
5.5% real reduction in Yr. 1, 9.5% by the 3rd budget (her budget).

Did you catch the key word in Al’s obfuscation? “real.”
Why is that one of multiple red flags in his post?
1. no link to document his claim
2. no actual numbers. I posted actual numbers and their progression.
3. he uses percent changes without the raw numbers to back them up
4. the use of the word “real”
Real — in that context — to me means, adjusted for some factor. It could be inflation. It could be something else.
why did you use “real” Al? why didn’t you post the actual numbers, Al? How do we know that your percent changes are correct, Al? Where is the link to the evidence, Al?
“You people”, as Al puts it, can surely do better than Al. Wouldn’t you agree, Al ?
