Latest from the administration of mass deception-- 87 billion to be hidden
Bush and congressional leaders plan to treat the Iraq spending as if it were off-budget, pretending they're not creating red ink


snip
Time to follow Alice for another quick trip down Washington's rabbit hole. Just take a look at what's about to happen with President Bush's request for $87 billion to continue U.S. military operations and reconstruction in Iraq and Afghanistan.


Bush will get the money from Congress, all right. But that's where things will begin to get strange. The President and congressional leaders are going to try to make $87 billion in federal spending disappear. How? By treating it as if it were off-budget spending.
