Half Trillion Dollars Off

The Obama Administration admitted today that 1/2 trillion dollars of the Health Care Budget has been double counted. The money is being applied to Medicare and to expenses at the same time.

Would that we could all do that. I've got $50. I want to pay my $50 utility bill and I want to drop $50 at the local tavern. Why cannot I just take that $50 in money and spend it in both places at the same time? After all, Obama does it - and he even tacks a few zeros on it, too!
