When is breaking the law, not breaking the law?

When you are the Federal Government.

Yesterday the national debt, as reported by the Treasury, reached $12.13 trillion. Rest assured, it’s even higher by now. The official debt ceiling — a rule of law which the government must obey, lest it render all other laws illegitimate — currently does not allow the national debt to exceed $12.10 trillion. Viva la revolucion! The government is breaking the law!

LOL! I doubt that is the ONLY way in which they are breaking the law. But it certainly is an interesting bit of information that brightened my day.
