A liberal acquaintance of mine responded to my article with these words: “Oh yeah? Well, look how much Bush and his cronies wasted in Iraq!” Ah, yes; liberal logic. Bush wasted more in Iraq, so reporting on an admittedly smaller waste of taxpayer dollars therefore is not worthy of being reported to concerned taxpayers. Hmm.
Yup, finger point & “since they did it - we can” (moral equivalency) logic!
