Ever notice how the right wing free market trickle down politicians have a one solution fits all approach to the economy? When the government had a huge surplus, Greenspan was worried that this might be a problem. Right wing politicians' solution: huge tax cuts, especially for the wealthy.
Now that we are either in or on the verge of a huge slowdown, if not recession, with enormous budget deficits, the same politicians are suggesting that what the economy needs is to make the tax cuts permanent.
Now I'm not an economist, but I just don't get it.
How can the solution to two completely different problems be exactly the same thing, both of which benefit the wealthy far more than the poor, and enrich corporations far more than individuals?
The bozos who use that kind of logic might also think the appropriate response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks was first to wage war against those who sponsored the attacks, and then to wage war against those who didn't.
They wouldn't be that stupid, would they?
