After wrecking the economy with a combination of reckless spending on militarization, unwarranted tax cuts, $500 billion annual transfers of wealth in the form of a housing bubble and artificially low interest rates, Bush and his acolytes left us where we are. Listening to Boehner and McConnell talk about the need for responsible government finance on NPR this morning made me actually angry.

If he can do it with a smile on his face, so much the better.driphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182879631506288757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401584991689197404.post-4591504921570102642009-01-06T04:01:00.000-08:002009-01-06T04:01:00.000-08:00Actually, it may be the need to keep Pryor, Bayh, ...Actually, it may be the need to keep Pryor, Bayh, Shaheen, Warner, Lincoln, Landrieu and the Nelsons on the reservation. Obama (on theTV) and Biden (on Capitol Hill) must sell this as something more that a cash giveaway to stimulate consumer spending coupled with a tax cut for the trickle down set. They can do it with a little rich banker bashing and some explanations of the way foreign trade, public works and deficits work.driphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182879631506288757noreply@blogger.com
