Budget "cut" theater



The federal government plans to increase spending by $2.5 Trillion over the next 10 years. Republicans and Democrats are arguing over whether they should instead only increase spending by $2.4 Trillion, and whose special interests will benefit most. So, they are quibbling over a totally insignificant difference in how much they will **increase** spending. Nothing is being cut. Nothing is ever cut. This is political theater.
