"Supporting education" means "not enough funding, increased tuition."
"Growing economy" means "rich get richer, poor get poorer."
"Collateral damage" means "dead Iraqi civilians."
"Pre-emptive strikes" means "we bomb who we want"
"Pre-emptive strikes" also means "more national debt."

Anyone care to add to the list?
