That New Math

I find it hard to believe that some members of the Republican party are functional human beings. While I will be criticizing Republicans in this post, I must make the disclaimer that I do not believe this form of mental retardation is unique to conservatives, Republicans or right-wingers. But the particular display of idiocy I am criticizing in this case comes from unnamed Republicans.
President Obama is challenging government agencies to shave $100 million in total off of their upcoming expenses. While admirable, I'm not entirely sure such an amount is worth the hassle, when the budget he's proposing totals $3.5 TRILLION. After all, those savings won't even reduce the part of that number to the right of the decimal point. When you're budget is in the trillions and much of that is added deficit spending, does any number that doesn't end with the word billion even matter much?
That isn't the galling part. The true outrage comes from critics of this budget. Beyond the hypocrisy of Republicans criticizing deficit spending after 8 years of deficit spending under a Republican president, four of those years coming with a Republican majority, the true extent of cognitive dissonance is apparent in their particular criticism.
I can only respond with a "LOLWUT?" It's called math, you mental midgets, look it up. You can't criticize deficit spending (spending money over and above the tax money received) while at the same time calling for cutting more taxes. If you cut taxes, you have less money to spend, thus creating GREATER DEFICIT SPENDING. Is this really that hard a concept? It shouldn't be to anyone who passed third grade arithmetic. Perhaps we need a new law: No Congressmen Left Behind.
Criticize the President all you want. But if you can't even create enough mental heat to light a piece of flash paper soaked in kerosene, please join the other useless fuckers in line at the Shut the Fuck Up Kitchen. They serve retards extra helpings.

Republicans have accused the president and the Democratic-controlled Congress of wasteful spending, saying Obama's $3.5 trillion 2010 budget plan carries too much deficit spending and too few tax cuts.
