It’s engaging in the theater of the absurd to even consider these measures-with or without caps- as a serious and comprehensive solution to the economic woes this spend-crazy, war crippled country faces. Almost as ridiculous as the completely predictable republican calls for still MORE tax cuts for the wealthiest in order to "stimulate" the economy. Bush helpfully weighs in that the massive tax cuts given to the wealthiest should become permanent-they’re good for the economy. "The fundamentals are strong," Bush said.

Both sides of the aisle not only show little to no fiscal restraint, they are intellectually bankrupt as well. It’s time somebody pointed out the emperor’s not wearing any clothes. He had to hock them years ago.
