XKCD certainly got this one right on the nose... reporting the data the right way makes a HUGE difference!
Straight from XKCD... I had this exact same reaction. Now that we're on the topic. I don't like federal money going to pay bonuses but seriously... this money was promised long ago and it's already been given out. Using the tax code to take it back? Wow this is seriously a real cluster @#$!
