I'd guess we're largely on the same page on the matter.
I'm sure a cursory search of my diary here would show that I've long thought (and argued here) that what you're suggesting (or appear to be to me anyway) is most likely the case.
For the sake of argument, and so as to not confuse or overload the impaired one I addressed it to, I've confined my remarks solely to the initial claim made by many of the pottymouths that it would never ever be seen in his budget. It seems to me that we're largely in agreement, not only that it was a proposal that was to be found in his budget, but also on the matter of why it was -- which likely had nothing to do with the "trial balloon" or "Nth dimensional chess" BS they've subsequently spewed, but rather because he doesn't think that we should any longer "defend things as they were written in 1938", which he made clear way back in 2006.
