    - Too ambiguous, as “take away some money” can and will be interpreted to mean any number of things - Will Hunting Jun 9, 07:26 3
      - Which is why no one is suggesting that budgets simply be cut indiscriminately. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 9, 07:30 2
        
        So, we are back to you agreeing that this is a complex issue with limited use for mislabeled hashtags. Good. Now go reform the police - Will Hunting Jun 9, 07:36 1

    - It's really simple - if you have to explain it over and over and over - it's a weak slogan. Period. If the other side can rally around YOUR slogan - John Murphy Jun 9, 07:26
