If spending were to increase every year for ten years, would liberals still say they "cut" it?

[Little-Acorn]

Liberals (in both parties) have this strange habit of deciding they will increase spending next year, and then calling it a "spending cut" because the increase isn't quite as big as they expected. It's a feat of doublespeak that Orwell would admire.

Are they going to do that again in these talks on avoiding the "Fiscal Cliff"?

 

[Cruella]

They need to start going backwards on spending. This whole fiscal cliff argument is a joke.

 

[Little-Acorn]

If the liberals can plan a 15% spending increase, and then later revise it to only a 10% increase and say they "cut" spending by 5%....

...then can conservatives plan for a 20% tax rate cut, then later revise it to only a 15% tax rate cut, and announce they have increased tax rates by 5%?

I know..... it is a stupid game, but it seems to play well with the low information voters.

NO. They have just invested in America.
