Announcing the deal, Mr Boehner, a leading Republican, said: ". . . We fought to keep government spending down because it really will create a better situation for job creators."
So the thinking must run: "By taking money out of the economy and thereby reducing consumer demand across the board, we'll encourage companies to hire more employees to produce the extra goods and services that customers are queuing up to . . . er . . ."
Or maybe Boehner's been bought and he's working on the old principle that "If you've gotta tell a lie, tell a big one"?
