Quote du jour

if the government were to announce a spending freeze — that’s to say, no increases, no cuts, everything just stays exactly the same — the Congressional Budget Office would score it as a $9 trillion savings. In real-world terms, there are no “savings,” and there’s certainly no $9 trillion.

    "Whaddya mean? We were never in danger of losing that kind of money!"

    "Exactly! Just shows how good I am at keeping losses under control! I should get a raise!"
