Liberal metrics. Lose a million jobs? Say that you've saved 2 million jobs. SUCCESS. Spent 1.6 trillion dollars that you don't have? Say that you reduced your deficit by 2 trillion dollars because you had 3.6 trillion in your budget. FRUGAL. Sent 1000 unarmed law-abiding citizens to their deaths at the hands of violent criminals? Say that you saved a bejillion babies... or just 1. HUMANITARIAN.
If you don't agree with it, then you clearly want to see 3 million jobs lost and hate babies.
You know, I think drone warfare is one of the coolest developments I've seen in my lifetime. Cool both in the technical aspects and in the potential for saving the lives of our soldiers. Still, it's hard for me to come to a resolution with an administration so willing to use the "if it saves just one life" line when they're actively using drones in an ongoing worldwide assassination program that only gets it right SOME of the time. Strikes me as funny how those two models can exist in the same doctrine.
If they were truly worried about saving "just one life" they would do away with gun free zones. The entire gun control issue is not about keeping people safe. The agenda is entirely different. I'm fully aware that most politicians have intelligence rivaled only by fenceposts but even they are not dumb enough to believe that more laws will magically make the criminals obey them. No, this isn't about public safety or saving a life.
