Re: When a Cut is Not a Cut
A: When we are dealing with disgustingly dishonest Republicans, especially, Tea Party's Paul Ryan. Ryan was claiming victory on spending cuts reached in the latest House bill that was passed with far bigger support from Pelosi's gang than from Tea Party (Pelosi had promised Boehner to deliver more Democratic votes than the total Tea Party gang in the House!). The total amount of all the spending cuts for 2011 and 2012 are miniscule and a rounding error in the debt. Almost all the promised cuts, if they ever materialize!, are after 2012. The ten-year budget deals are a hoax and the voting dopes can't do anything even if they disagree. Let us face the real truth on the ground: An American voter is politically impotent. Crooks' agents get power no matter whom the dopes vote for.
Last week, dope dealer Limbaugh was gloating over the power and success of the Tea Party for standing firm on big spending cuts and hollow mantra like Cut, Cap and Balance. I wonder how Rush feels now after the passage of the House bill. When it comes to deficit reductions, Reagan-GW Bush-Limbaugh-Tea Party dopes need to attend some classes on intellectual honesty just out of shame. Not that these things produce any results but they do make one feel some shame. In a shameless society ("rule of law," where honor plays no role and encourages shamelessness) that is sorely needed.

When a Cut is Not a Cut
"One might think that the recent drama over the debt ceiling involves one side wanting to increase or maintain spending with the other side wanting to drastically cut spending, but that is far from the truth. In spite of the rhetoric being thrown around, the real debate is over how much government spending will increase.
No plan under serious consideration cuts spending in the way you and I think about it. Instead, the "cuts" being discussed are illusory, and are not cuts from current amounts being spent, but cuts in projected spending increases. This is akin to a family "saving" $100,000 in expenses by deciding not to buy a Lamborghini, and instead getting a fully loaded Mercedes, when really their budget dictates that they need to stick with their perfectly serviceable Honda. But this is the type of math Washington uses to mask the incriminating truth about their unrepentant plundering of the American people…"
