Apparently, politicians are prime examples of the failure of the American education system. Simple mathematical equations elude them.
It is a complete lie. What the 'rats are doing is simple. Basically, they'd like to spend say several trillion dollars, running up something like a trillion dollar deficit. Instead, they "only" plan on spending such that they run up a 900 billion dollar deficit - and then they claim credit for 100 billion in "deficit reduction."
No, you lying POS's - increasing the debt is not in any way, shape, or form "deficit reduction." You are still increasing the debt. By their logic I'm saving millions every day - every day that I don't go out and buy that place on the beach...
