David Axelrod just defended the quasi-compromise tax deal as a way to “get the economy moving again.”
Let’s see if I remember correctly: The collapse of the U.S. economy was caused by a combination of Bush’s tax cuts and costly military adventures; the costly military adventures are still going on and the administration now proposes to continue Bush’s tax cuts.
So our administration believes that continuing to do almost exactly the same things that devastated the American economy will somehow get the economy moving again.
