So I'm watching the news where the Dumycrats and Republicans each unveiled their proposed budget plans. Both parties claim that their budget balances over a period of time. The Republicans say theirs will balance in about five years. The Dumycrats just call theirs balanced. There's only one little difference and that is in the definition of "balanced." The Republican plan calls for expenditures to roughly balance with revenues in about five years after prudent elimination of wasteful spending and other adjustments. The dumycrat version is to attain a balance between increased deficit spending and increased taxes.
Which one works for you?
