      How can he know what Congress would pass before they say? Or are you expecting him to see the future?

        Some guy gives you $6.

        I say I’m gonna give you $20.

        I get you $14 and I say it’s $20 because of the $6 from before.

        Do you not get why people would be upset about this? Stop thinking like a wonk and start thinking like someone who reads at a fifth grade level and had their civics class cut due to lack of funding.

          No, it’s some guy gives you $6.

          I say I’m going to give you $20.

          When it comes time to give you the money later, a third party says no.

          I give you the $14 that I can give you.

          You ignore that the third party got in the way and you told me it’s my fault.

          Stop thinking like a wonk

          You should start thinking this way, so that the things you say are correct and relevant.
