re: #793 MacDuff

The President pledged that he would not sign a bill “that increases the deficit on single dime” to rousing applause.

Assuming that there are (arguably unsustainable) deficits as far as they eye can see, this would indicate that the bill that he signs into law will be the first government program that costs nothing, correct?

Is he an alchemist, the greatest financial mind in American history, a cynical liar or simply a man who believes his own hubris?

Methinks this may be Obama’s “read my lips” moment.

That is possible. It’s certainly a tall order.
