A private organizaion would show: <br /><br />-- the actual total spending for the prior year, <br />-- the projected total spending for the current year, and <br />-- the projected total spending under the various proposals. <br /><br />Since a 10-year projection is so uncertain, they might show: <br />-- shorter term projections. <br /><br />Or, they might show:<br /> <br />-- 3 projections for each alternative, based on 3 different economic forecast possibilities.<br /><br />Without this sort of data, there is no way to understand just what, say, "$4 trillion in savings" or "$1.8 trillion in savings" really means.David in Calnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-53703704813340016272012-03-05T14:27:29.768-05:002012-03-05T14:27:29.768-05:00The New York Times can't help it.

They only hire Ivy League and elite Tier I research university educated, connected young white people these days, like the Parkers and Barbaros. <br /><br />These young people, like their longstanding reporters, are innumerate. They have no sense of the world outside their narrow social, class and racial spheres. <br /><br />Many of them are also pretty worried about appearing too tough on conservatives or getting on the bad side of the Democratic Party. <br /><br />They are little better than the guest bloggers that Huffington Post or the Daily Beast hires, except that they have far more high profile gigs. You see them on TV, on so many popular major websites, filling the screens of the <i>New Republic</i> and <i>Slate</i>.<br /><br />They like to hear what each other has to say. They also are pretty attentive to the billionaires. The rest of us they couldn't give a fig about. About time we all came to realize that and adapted accordingly.Strangelovenoreply@blogger.com
