Which is bigger?

    a) $400 million dollars
    b) 100%
    c) it doesn’t fucking matter when it’s someone else’s money

The State of Michigan underestimated it’s budget deficit, which was supposed to be $400 million, by a whopping $400 million. A fucking-hundred percent. It’s almost inconceivable that anyone, anywhere, ever, could be more wrong, or less accurate in their forecasting.Fortunately, the State Budget Director, Bob Emerson believes that “People are done with [tax] cuts.”

You are a no-talent-ass-clown, Mr. Emerson, nobody has ever been taxed into prosperity. The solution you offer, for gross financial ineptitude, is more financial responsibility? The state has mismanaged the money tribute that it’s extracted from us – about as badly as is humanly possible, and the best solution you can come up with is “people will want to give us more money!”

I just spit a steaming-hot mouthful of Ramen cup-a-soup noodles all over my screen – that is just too funny.

…Someone once said, “When the only tool you have is a hammer, sooner or later, everything begins to look like a nail.”
