      But if the number was a trillion plus, oh boy Cavuto would have had a field day with why the Democrats should join the Republicans and just kill the HealthCare Reform Bill. Wink, wink. LOL.

      Watching Cavuto converse with a correspondent from the Washington Times is like watching two cave men trying to assemble a bike.

      If they found out Obama and the Congress cut $650 billion in foreign aid or for welfare, they would be cheering him as fiscally responsible for not helping people. If they lower the budget to actually help people, then it's a rounding error.

      If he can dismiss $650 billion over 20 years as a rounding error, than I guess so is the TARP fund and Stimulus money and shouldn't really be discussed?

      How can we marginalize health care reform when it could actually help reduce the deficit? Call it a rounding error!!

      How do we sensationalize health care reform when you don't have any alternate solutions? Call it Socialism and Death Panels.

      Of course, $650 billion in reference to health care is just a "rounding error" (previously defined as more in the ballpark of $7.7 billion) An (even inflated from the actual $1.7 billion!) $300 billion for struggling homeowners? Well that's "a lot of capital -- try 300 billion bucks of capital" and is "idiotic."

      As usual, fair and balanced!

      Ah, shoot, I always make that mistake, too. Just the other day, my wife asked me to add 7 and 4 and I came up with 650 billion.

      Yes, THAT is what it is, Neil.
