Such as the goal of "saving 3.5 million jobs." Or "cutting spending" by slowing the rate of spending increase.

The biggest trickery, BY A MILE, in the budget was the bogus handling of the wars.

What they did was to say, "Now, in the interest of honesty, we're going to start counting the wars in the budget, so we end up with a $2 trillion deficit this year, but we're being more honest in our budgeting".

Of course, the REAL reason for this parlor trick is so that as the wars wind down (basically due to Bush's actions, NOT Obama's) they can claim they are cutting the deficit.

It is a big assed trick. Bogus accounting. And they're pros at it.
