That article, which of course I have not fact checked either (so it might be totally out to lunch on several points as well), leads me to believe that I might have simplified the situation out of my desire that they are the answer I am looking for.

I think over simplification might be the best way to describe it. Thats why we have comments like "well I cut back in my own house, so why can't the government" type of thing as well.
