Which politician in DC conceived of this flippin "Grand Bargain" aka "Shock Doctrine" |
|
I know the answer~
Do you?
And when was the last time increasing the debt ceiling caused such a 'crisis' atmosphere?
Anyone?
Bueller?
Bueller?
NONE of this had to happen.
More basic questions~
Does Social Security contribute to the deficit?
Will trillions of dollars in cuts cause an increase in unemployment?
Which budget plan already in the public domain in DC deals with the deficit and protects our safety net programs?
Why is that budget plan ignored and not pushed using the 'bully pulpit' or the 'power to persuade' that rests with the Executive Branch i.e. the President of the US according to renowned presidential scholar Richard Neustadt?
What's the difference between Keynesian economics,& Freidman Chicago School of Economics?
Why are the so called 'grown ups in the room' in DC pursuing, pushing, and articulating economic policies that would comfort Herbert Hoover?
Why do so many on this site defend the 'grown ups in the room' in DC TODAY when they pursue policies that would comfort Herbert Hoover?
Have those policies ever been known to achieve the desired result of helping all Americans?
Just askin'

2. Yes, this shock doctrine was to continue cuts and Chicago School economics. |
|
It has little in reality to do with deficits except the use of deficits as a false pretense to continue to add to cuts.
