Good morning Sharp, If you had noticed that number 56 on Kimberly's list said the administration had limited the salaries of top aides. That's what that citation was about. Salaries! Not how long it was going to take to fix the economy.
And the story came from a news organization, not a blog, usually friendly to the administration.
Perhaps you can read the story and tell us all if you still believe number 56 on Kimberly's list is true.
Oh, and the part about the earth.... it's true. The earth is not round. It's actually an oblate spheroid. Its equatorial diameter is longer than its polar diameter.
