So now "Too Political" means "Purposely debunking the bullshit 'laissez faire' narrative we've spent billions and billions of dollars trying to sell to the hoi polloi for 32 years."

Any pundit that asserts a period of strong hiring follows a period of low taxation doesn't deserve to have a widespread forum given to him/her. "Trickle Down" is based on paper-towel logic a five-year-old can bust through. CNBC is practically on overdrive with the "BEWSH TAX CUTZ GRATE - HIGHER TAXES BAAAAAAAAAAAD" stupidity lately.
