Ron Paul: The "Cuts" being discussed are illusory.

Old Plan A
Lamborghini or else
It's the end of the planet as we know it.

New Plan B adopted.
Downgrade to fully loaded Mercedes
we can't afford.

"No plan under serious consideration cuts spending in the way you and I think about it. Instead, the "cuts" being discussed are illusory, and are not cuts from current amounts being spent, but cuts in projected spending increases. This is akin to a family "saving" $100,000 in expenses by deciding not to buy a Lamborghini, and instead getting a fully loaded Mercedes, when really their budget dictates that they need to stick with their perfectly serviceable Honda. But this is the type of math Washington uses to mask the incriminating truth about their   unrepentant plundering of the American people".  Ron Paul  h/t Zero Hedge.

Plan C rejected: Drive the Honda a little longer.
It's a good car.
