Kudos to Assemblyman Jim Nielsen
In an interview aired June 14 on KCRA-TV, the Biggs Republican, vice chair of the Assembly Budget Committee, displayed his mastery of the Lexicon of Common Budget Words and Phrases by describing the budget as not only “kicking the can down the road” and “business as usual” but adding that the process lacked sufficient “transperancy.”
Just one more and it would have been a homerun.

He was definitely on the “slippery slope” of lexicon usage!

While he meant “kicking the can down the road”, He actually said “kicking the can down the”.
