While the rest of America was holding an election last week, the gnomes at the Congressional Budget Office released the final budget totals for fiscal 2012. They're worth reporting because they illuminate the real fiscal choices that confront the country, as opposed to the posturing you'll be hearing over the next few weeks.

What “budget” is this?

Why, the 0bama budget, of course! The one we haven't had in the last four years. Every time I read that word in this context I want to start screaming. THERE. IS. NO. BUDGET. TO. CUT.

Idiots.

"THERE. IS. NO. BUDGET."

Exactly. There has not been a budget for over three years.

The illusion, is that, like the election, there are no “choices”.

The consequences have been dictated.

this “budget” is like when you open the credit card bill and see how much line of credit you have left to spend after making the minimum payment, so that is your budget .. spend until the end
