lawrocket 3 #26 December 14, 2013 billvon>Yet, you support someone who is "lashing out" against those would like to reduce spending. I support someone who passes actual spending reduction legislation over someone who would rather see the country's economy destroyed so they can blame Obama for it, yes. It's not spending reduction. $80 billion in new spending with $20 billion in cuts just says, "We were going to do $100 billion in new spending but only decided to increase it by $80 billion. That's $20 billion in deficit reduction." A spending reduction means "spending reduction." I gained 20 pounds last year. But I lost weight because I was on track for a 30 pound weight gain. Thus, weight reduction. Only in politics does it work like that. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am somewhat stunned to note, given the educational and occupational credentials of various posters, quite who shows a fundamental understanding of arithmetic. It is truly counter-intuitive.
