Nothing. That is the point. The fact that the numbers are not included is disclosed, so there is not an attempt to mislead. Ty, here is the writing you requested.

Didn't see this before.
If you see a Chevy advertised for $20,000, and you read the fine print and it says "does not include charge for transmission," and the transmission is going to cost thousands of dollars, is that not misleading? As someone noted, we're talking about billions of dollars.
Arguing about whether it's misleading in the particulars or not is really not the point. It's a PR effort to divert attention from the nation's finances. According to one source I saw, the Bush budget leaves out more than $150 million in costs he supports, and discusses only the next five years instead of the standard ten years, the reason being that the tax cuts really kick in six years out. By which time Bush will be chilling in Crawford. And hopefully will have been doing so for five years.
