Thanks for pointing it out!

This may actually be an example of qualitative difference between maths arguments and fiscal policy arguments that the OP talked about. My error was mathematical, so once it was pointed I had no wiggle room to rationalize. If you had corrected me on a point of fiscal policy I'm not sure it would have been so easy for me to just say oops.
