- On policy announcement #1: the government is spending too much and throwing money away on an economic stimulus plan that will fail!
- On policy announcement #2: sure we would spend 90% as much money, but our dollars would be magic dollars that went to better places!
- Prior to figures #1: the government spent all that money and it hasn't done anything!
- Prior to figures #2: if we had spent all of that 90% of the money the government shouldn't have spent that we would've spent, it would've done more!
- Post figures #1: sure things aren't as bad as we thought they would be, but what the government has done has nothing to do with it!
- Post figures #2: sure things aren't as bad as we thought they would be, but that's only because the government has spent too much!
Comes a time when you can keep on digging, or stop and get out of the hole.
