You could have said that a long time ago and I would have understood, since I've always been the type that has no problem with an alcoholic having 8 beers and buckling his kid up in the backseat before driving to the store for smokes....but goddamn, it's those guys that will have 13 before they do it that really get me! Those guys, they make me incredulous!
maybe I think a deficit of 400 bil is manageable while going to 1,750 Bil again in 3 months isn't. If you change your analogy to 4 beers vs. 17 and a half it will make perfect sense and be correct on the ratio of the numbers. But to make it truly correct those 4 beers were consumed over 8 hrs while 17 and 1/2 were drank in 15mins.
