After Massachusetts voters sent their message to the Democrats, the newspaper headline read "Obama to seek spending freeze." But it's an outright lie. The freeze would take effect in October. However, when you read the article, you see that what Obama calls a freeze is not what you and I call a freeze. "Administration officials . . . are working with Congress on roughly $150 billion in additional stimulus spending . . ." And how much is he predicting his "freeze" to save? $15 billion. If my elementary math is correct, that puts us $135 billion further into the hole. Mr. Essie May wouldn't let me get away with that kind of spending freeze!
