"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
Tell Congress to Stop Lying and Start Cutting
Submitted by Westernerd on Sat, 2011-04-16 03:00
You told us you were cutting the budget by $38.5 billion. You lied. The CBO (Congressional Budget Office) says that your omnibus spending bill only cuts budgeted spending by $325 million. That's million, NOT billion. But it gets worse. The CBO also says that spending actually INCREASES by $3.3 billion when you include so-called emergency spending.
