784- EXPLAIN THIS

YOU DO THE MATH
I need to have this explained to me as I cannot understand how this will work..
Tony Muna said the cash-strapped government will incur a shortfall of at least $7 million in fiscal year 2008.
Based on the administration’s analysis, the unpaid holiday measure will save the government $7 million and this could be used to cover other financial obligations such as utility bills and other operational expenses.
Now let me see, The government will have a shortfall of seven million dollars... They will keep from creating a deficit by reducing the budget by seven million dollars by not paying for holidays... This is not saving money to be used for 'other' things, as noted, but will only keep them from going into the hole. So how do these brilliant minds make this work? Please tell me...
.....GED.....
PS.. How about this, would it work like this?...
I want a $40.00 pair of shoes
I only have $20.00
I then buy a $60.00 pair of shoes on sale for $20.00
Therefore saving $40.00
I now have the $40.00 I saved to buy the original shoes?....
Government math....

It's higher math, Glen. You have to be higher to understand it.
