Imaginary Political U.S. Budget Savings

                 

What if you don’t need a new car but you pass a new car showroom and look at some new models?

                       

You look at one for $60,000 that suddenly catches your fancy, and you decide, why not, I’ll buy it.

                       

But you get a pang of conscience when you look at the payments needed, so you buy another car in the showroom for only $25,000.

                       

Do you boast at home to your spouse you just cut the household budget by $35,000, having spent just $25,000 instead of $60,000, all of which you probably cannot afford? Well, that’s how politicians boast about cutting their budgets. Their attempt is to cut the INCREASED spending they can’t afford

                       

Federal budgets are routinely increased every year. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
