Perchoutofwater Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Sounds good to me. It helps us know how big of a hole we are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Actual accounting is nice, to be sure, but I don't see this as something to be happy about. The main difference is that instead of getting porked blindly, we are getting porked openly. Neither is okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driveby Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Makes perfect sense. Bump up the number, blame Bush, and then at the end of Obama's 4 years the increase won't be so dramatic. And killing the second bird with the same stone - finally some transparency at no cost to him. Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 deficits are going to explode under obama, whatever accounting method you use. this is nice for his nutsack swingers though, because when it is pointed out to them how enormously the deficits expanded, they can just give their pat autoresponse answer to everything -- "that's because BUSH LIIIEEEEEEIIEEED!!!"
