This is just me, but I would like for politicians and news analysts to not talk in terms of trillions of the dollars that will be taxed, cut or otherwise spindled or mutilated in the out years. Rather, I would like them to give me three quick shots; numbers in terms of what is happening in 2011 dollars (this year), in 2012 dollars (next year, or next fiscal year, which begins 1 October of 2011) and then the ten year projections. The use of "trillions" is just meant to obscure what is being done at the coal face. It is basically maskirovka, and thus meant to mislead the average voter. In two words, somewhat dishonest.
