It’s Friday, July 29, 2011 and our Editorial Board has one final message for Congress and the President on this debt ceiling silliness:
|
Dear Men, Women and Children,
I know this is gonna be hard to understand, but please, give it a try. Look, decreasing the size of an increase is STILL an increase. Let’s say you’re due for a 6% pay raise. Only instead, you get 3%. That’s not a pay cut! Your pay did not go down, it still went up. A cut in pay results in you getting less money, not the same amount and not more. Get it? So, rather than reducing an increase by an amount, we need to decrease the amount. If for instance this year’s budget for the Dept of Hoohash is $4 billion, a decreased budget would be LESS than $4 billion. No, no increases, not any. Eliminate increases and reduce the budget. NOTE: There’s not really a “Dept of Hoohash” so don’t go looking to reduce its budget. I doubt you’ll understand this, but I had to try. Etc, etc, |
Now, onward.

Sadly, the results are again inconclusive, but we are encouraged that 4% knew the correct answer.
