— If there’s one thing Salon’s chief censor and managing editor Scott Rosenberg knows about, it’s soaring debts. But somehow he manages to project Salon’s business practices onto the president of the United States. This is why I call these folks “The Sneering Class”. Salon.com Politics
Still, it’s incontrovertible that the government has a lot less money now — and will have less and less in the future — thanks to Bush’s ill-conceived tax cut. And it offends anyone who cares about honesty in government (a phrase that, during the Clinton era, was the rallying cry of impeachment-happy Republicans) to watch Bush continue to pin responsibility for his own fiscal mismanagement on the head of Osama bin Laden.
This is downright stupid. The tax cut has had no effect on tax revenues so far, and Democrats oppose the one tax cut that’s guaranteed to raise money for the government, the capital gains tax cut. Scott, son, go sell some more worthless stock and be done with it.
