Good news for Republicans and the country -- Michelle Bachmann can solve all our problems within one economic quarter of winning the presidency (NYT Blog)! Thank god! I thought there were fundamental problems that needed to be addressed, a debt crisis that hasn't really been solved and a jobless recovery that now appears to be pushing us back into recession. But no, there is a simple solution! And it's quite simple -- just cut taxes, make the death of the death tax permanent and cut corporate taxes. Of course, why didn't anyone think of that? She really is dazzling in her boldness and creativity!
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's another moron from the right come to save us with her complete lack of understanding of even the most basic of economic realities. Of course, trickle down, supply side Reaganomics has been an abject failure for everyone except the super rich, but Republicans clearly don't read history books, economic texts or the constitution. More of the same is exactly what we need, because it's worked so well. Um, or did it? I'm not sure I need to detail the holes in this argument yet again, but it's staggering to me how people of this limited ability and knowledge can be considered legitimate candidates for president. Of course, after two terms of Bush, nothing should surprise me in American politics ever again. We reap what we sow, and we are sowing a hell of a lot of manure these days ...
