'But ...'
Here it comes: the ‘but’ stage of a typical budget debate, i.e. reforms are needed ‘but’ they won’t balance the budget. Of course the answer should be: But we didn’t say reforms would balance the budget. … Next up in a typical budget debate: The ‘only’ stage, i.e. an individual reform will ‘only’ save X amount of dollars while screeching commences on any budget cut of an identical amount. ...
Hey, take a look at what your "less than $7 extra a week" will keep paying for: The pensions of Double Dip Donnelly and Jim Marzilli. Wouldn't you know. Double Dip's on Therese Murray's special commission studying pensions. ... Remember: We're 'afraid' to talk about taxes.
