Sometimes I really wonder where are the heads of these journalist pundits. Its like they are creating their storyline out of thin air.
Obama and the dems have been calling for a mix of spending cuts, tax increases, et al for months now. But this tool says its "not the agenda of either party". How he landed a coveted position with the NY Times I will never understand.
As for America, we’ve thrived in recent decades with a credit-consumption-led economy, whereby we maintained a middle class by using more steroids (easy credit, subprime mortgages and construction work) and less muscle-building (education, skill-building and innovation). It’s put us in a deep hole, and the only way to dig out now is a new, hybrid politics that mixes spending cuts, tax increases, tax reform and investments in infrastructure, education, research and production. But that mix is not the agenda of either party.
