Kevin Drum: "I think I'm going to be sick." (me too...) |
|
Edited on Tue Apr-05-11 01:46 PM by kpete
Kevin Drum puts it well: Courageous. Serious. Gutsy. I imagine that within a few days this will be the consensus view of the entire Beltway punditocracy. A plan dedicated almost entirely to slashing social spending in a country that's already the stingiest spender in the developed world, while simultaneously cutting taxes on the rich in a country with the lowest tax rates in the developed world — well, what could be more serious than that?I think I'm going to be sick. http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2011/04/courageous-serious-gutsy-paul-ryanhttp://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/05/opinion/05brooks.html?_r=1&hphttp://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/brio-and-guts-and-total-heartlessness.html

And the we is us in general. Seriously in my life time I know that back in the days before Reagan you could have never sold a plan like that to anyone...now they just expect the right wing to jump on board, and the left can go to hell...Yep we are sick.

20. Good luck thinking we have a bully pulpit! |
|
Last I check, the media decides if they are even going to show someone charismatic who is a great speaker. Without access given by the media, no one can hear anything...... Perhaps we should be working on that; the overwhelming power the corporate media has over this country.

It is impossible to forecast 10 years into the future. The Bush taxcuts proved that.

21. the GOP wants to go back to pre-Civil War days-that is |
|
their ideal America where white landowners and 'educated' men of property and profession made all the rules to work ONLY for them...I would argue that the rape of the new deal over 50 yrs, wars for profit, a thoroughly corrupt and greed infested body politic have resulted in the America they want, so what do they have to bitch about now?
