Just say no to Republicans, or at least those who want to wreck the country
Mark Kleiman writes that Mitch Daniels, Director of the OMB has finally made Mickey Kaus cry "uncle" in matters of deficit financing.
With all roads to Voodoo Economics leading to fiscal ruin, what happens when everybody Federal, State and Local finally runs out of money? Do we pay for essential services with our good looks? (Well maybe yours, mine would not get me too far)
As the governors of many states who have signed on with the Bush Economic Destruction System (BEDS) are finding out, life ain't so easy when you actually have to make choices. The days of competing to see who could "cut out the most fat" me or the legislature are over, and now they are having to make some hard choices. The Founding Fathers did not provide that the government be allowed to impose taxes because they were in love with the idea of Taxes, they were in love with the idea and ideal of the country they had created and wanted to it to be self-sustaining, not self-destructing.
It's sad when we all know that our tax policy is being driven by idiots like Grover Norquist and Steve Forbes, two guys who, I am sure, are expecting everything to just work out.
Well, all they need to do is tap their heels together and say those magic words...you know the ones: There's no place that Taxes, There's no place that Taxes.
