These cuts amount to a junk food junky

trying to lose weight by cutting the amount of Twinkies they plan to eat next year based on a predicted increase in the consumption of Twinkies.

The junk food junky currently eats 10 Twinkies per day currently but predicts he will eat 15 Twinkies next year. So in order to lose weight the junky will now only eat eleven Twinkies per day.

Fuzzy math is not a practical solution to our excessive military spending.

...the way I see it: cutting $500 billion to $1 trillion, including closing bases > that building more bases (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002177891)

Actual math is a more "practical solution" than propaganda.
