Dems don't do math - they do lies - and are confident their ignorant base will never figure it out. Sorta like the leaders of Greece. Barack "the Greek" Obama and his merry band of fools!

It's political Math with a little bit of "1984" Math mixed in there. Both parties know that entitlements have to be addressed, but after having been "burned" on the budget issue last summer by the Republican "newbies" Obama no longer is willing to lead on this potentially explosive issue (explosive with the voters) and, I think, potentially Republicans have painted themselves into a corner on this with their passing of the automatic reduction bill (as the commission appointed to compromise couldn't). Republicans will have to propose their own budget cuts on entitlements or see the draconian "automatic" cuts work their havoc on the Pentagon. Oh well--live by the budget sword, die by the budget sword.
