Sounds right, so it must be right.

Are we too quick to accept ridiculous ideas because they sound good? Take “balanced budget,” for example. Balancing the Federal budget may be a good idea when times are good, but it is a terrible idea when times are tough. The idea that a balanced Federal budget, unlike a local government budget or a family budget, is always desirable is patently false.

Sounds right, so it must be right.

Sounds right, so it must be right? More likely not. What did I miss?
