"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

But once again, the Administration will leave one of the government's most expensive efforts ? the ?Global War on Terror?? off the books. While this accounting trick doesn't quite rise to the level of an Enron scheme, it's based on the same premise: Any budget can look good if you leave enough expenses off.
