Kevin Drum on that $5 trillion cockup…
And while we’re on the subject, isn’t it sort of amazing that we’ve seen the collapse within a few months of Bear Stearns, IndyMac, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae — and we aren’t in even worse shape than we are? In a perverse way, it’s a testament to our economy that we can absorb so much catastrophe in such a short period of time without even more pain than we’ve already suffered. Keep your fingers crossed.
Um Kevin? Bro? It just means that the GOP’s Job Number One is to dump as much of this multi-trillion dollar clusterfuck on the head of one Barack Obama, so that he can be blamed for it.
It’s not a testament to our economy. It’s a testament to how good this administration is at hiding the bodies, and how little the media gives a shit.
it’s called the cooking of two books…because the sheeple believe in sound bites.
As long as there’s beer to buy and CNN plays…all is well.
