When is a Budget Cut Not a Budget Cut?

---

When it is liberals and progressives pulling the wool over conservatives’ eyes.

You would think that if there is a short-term budget cut of one trillion dollars, the country would have turned the corner on runaway spending and would spend less in 2112 than 2011.

Not so.

The plan is to spend 8% more in 2012 than 2011 and 8% more in 2013 than 2012. So the short term budget cut means the planned 8% increase will be a little smaller increase,

That is not what conservatives were elected in 2010 to do.
