Onetime2- your statement is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous.
Gray Davis was careful to make sure no one knew about California's impending deficit, because he knew he'd be jeopardizing his job. When the news came out, we were $25B in the hole, the people of California flipped him the bird and kicked him out of office. Don't give me this "all politicians lie" BS- the people of California evicted Gray Davis for his lie. Hell, the people of America *continue* to persecute Bill Clinton for lying about banging an intern, something that should have *cost them not a thin nickel!
In my personal work history, when asked to price a plan, I have to research to find the cheapest plan, then get approval to go forward. If there are going to be overages (taxes, shipping, implementation costs) I have to imply them at the point of approval, or the powers that be will hold me accountable. In other words, if I want to keep my job, I have to be FISCALLY ACCURATE. This is the exact opposite of your "every spending situation". If my costs skyrocket, I simply won't get any money to meet them, and the business will suffer, and ultimately, I may lose my job.
*In reality, the Clinton affair cost the country money in the prosecution, special sessions, so on. However, it made lots of money for news outlets, which then benefited the economy. Go figure.
