Perversion of the Language

This is something that will come as no surprise to anyone who follows politics. But not enough people know this: When government says they are cutting spending, THEY ARE LYING. Including the the so-called cuts in the recent debt limit increase deal. Politicians need a basic English lesson. And everyone else needs to understand what abject liars politicians are.

Ron Paul says it quite well on his website:
"When a Cut is Not a Cut" by Ron Paul

"No plan under serious consideration cuts spending in the way you and I think about it. Instead, the 'cuts' being discussed are illusory, and are not cuts from current amounts being spent, but cuts in projected spending increases. This is akin to a family 'saving' $100,000 in expenses by deciding not to buy a Lamborghini, and instead getting a fully loaded Mercedes, when really their budget dictates that they need to stick with their perfectly serviceable Honda. But this is the type of math Washington uses to mask the incriminating truth about their unrepentant plundering of the American people."

"We pay 35 percent more for our military today than we did 10 years ago, for the exact same capabilities. The same could be said for the rest of the government. Why has our budget doubled in 10 years? This country doesn't have double the population, or double the land area, or double anything that would require the federal government to grow by such an obscene amount."
