Jon Stewart on deficit spending:
“Good news today out of Washington — they haven’t paid down the debt or come up with any program to do so. What they did is raise the limit of debt we can go to, to $9 trillion. It sends a great message to the kids: ‘Hey are you getting an F? Don’t study harder. Just make the grading curve go out to K! Then your F looks like a C!’”

That reminds me of Ronald Reagan who redefined poverty. He upped the limit of the minimum income for the federal guideline for poverty.
whalla……the number of people living in poverty suddenly dropped by tens of thousands.
Those politicians are sooooo cleaver.
