Imagine that you go to buy a used car and the seller wants $3,500
for a clunker. You say that $3,500 is way too much and he replies that
in order to compromise, he’ll take a dime off. Would you feel like the
seller was taking your position seriously?
Heck, maybe Obama really light a fire under his people and increase
the savings ten times over! Why that would bring us up to $1 out of
$3500. Whoopee. I’m so excited I might get the vapors!
By contrast, if the total budget is $3500, then Obama is borrowing ~$1800.
The video is correct. Obama is counting on people hearing “a big
pile of money taken out of a bigger pile of money.” He’s counting on
them not understanding how badly he is misleading them.
