Did you miss this today? The CBO is now predicting that the 2015 budget deficit will be $60 billion less than originally expected, hitting a 7 year low. Thanks Obama.

[Thinkingabout]

1. Oh, no no no, the Democrats are tax and spend, what happened?

I guess Obama should get the credit because he gets all of the blame.

2. Bernie will improve on Obama's legacy and policies

and make Obama look like a god-send to everyone. I think that's what will happen at the end of the nominating process.

3. So Bernie is going to kick in the big burner and run fast in the Senate?

That would be goo, maybe the next Ted Kennedy.

4. Tax and sequester.

And wait for the economy to catch up as you sequester. (The "tax" part is optional.)

It's the tried and true formula from the '90s. Vetoed once, then proudly claimed as one's own.

Of course goosing the 2008/09 budget deficit helps. Sort of buries the bar, making it easy to get over.
