I guess I had read the former as implying that the vast majority of the deficit as being solely targeted for stimulus, which we both agree that it is not. A portion, half or 2/3 (depending on how you want to shave it) of it being an ongoing operational structural deficit I think we also agree on. Just semantics I guess.
What's a couple of billion here or there every year between us friends on CP? Double meat subs for everybody!
