Double speak by Politicians

Donald Rumsfeld once said in 2002, regarding the limitations of intelligence reports.

There are known knowns; there are things we know we know.
We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know.

There's plenty of political doublespeak, but this actually makes sense.

Known known: your paycheck
Known unknown: you will have an electric bill, but you don't know the exact amount
Unknown unknown: the medical bill from the accident you might have in six months
