If Hillary said it just like Trump...some would be calling it 'an unfortunate slip that was corrected'. Others would be calling for a rope.

Oh if Hillary said it and all the same things Trump said, I would attribute to the exact same thing, some political potshots, BUT as Alan has (rightfully and I'm sure accurately) that it would be brushed aside by the media as a "slip of the tongue", she would give some half-assed apology and all would be forgiven. It doesn't help the Donald that he wears a great big red bulls-eye on his back and I think he relishes in it too.

Does that answer your question Snidely?

The Donald is a the top of his game when it comes to tearing a person apart and really correct 98% of the time. He just tells it like it is and that's what you get like it or not. Not saying he will get the nomination but he making life a little tough out there for the weak at heart. He picks and chooses his targets. I can't wait until he starts on Hillary.

Before I present my research and documentation, would Forkie care to precede me in explaining us how much IRS spending has increased (compensated for inflation), since 1983?

Forkie, I'm waiting.

Please give us "your research", Boiler. I'm anxious to hear what your buddy, Pete, said.

Okay Forkie, are you going to take a stab at how much spending has increased at the IRS since 1983? PJ has made it clear that he isn't willing to give us a guess. My research is complete, but I'm looking for you guys to pitch in!

I don't try and pass off my "guesses" as facts. I have too much respect for my own integrity. Its now been over a month since you first made your statement about the IRS budget increases - and you still cant back it up. And your carrot/stick show of your last few posts is just more proof. Nobody is on pins and needles waiting for your source. Your history for not providing them is already a known quantity.

Come on Boilerman...Let's see the numbers. Everyone's on pins and needles waiting to see them.

Of course from 1983 to today GDP has grown over two and a half times (inflation adjusted), so we would expect various government departments' budgets to grow too. It's what they do. If they grew less than the rate of GDP, some would call it a productivity increase.....others a funding shortfall....depending on how you roll.
