Biden Smacks Down Deficit Scolds | Talking Points Memo

He politely smiles…and powers on doing the right things for the Country!

I LOVE IT!

And it’s not a smug, McTurtle smirk. He is joyful in his ability to help, but is not trying to rub it in.

Yes ignore the SOBs and keep going. They are going to have a difficult time catching up. Blow right by them.

It’s pretty silly for Mitch to pathetically demand Democrats commit to bipartisan and to unify, when he can’t even keep his own Party together.

ETA: Are Democrats supposed to unify with the plutocratic “let them eat cake” or the seditionist “burn the country down if we don’t get everything we want” wing of the Republican Party?

Biden is demonstrating he is no Obama and will not make the mistakes of his overly cautious, overly idealistic former boss.

Larry Summers is like one of those NBA/NFL coaches who’s never had a winning season in 30 years and keeps failing upwards on the basis of name recognition and experience. What has Summers ever said or done that wasn’t wrong (and usually ethically questionable)?

Right. I can’t believe he said: ‘he could not in “good conscious” go along with the GOP’

This isn’t government showering those at the top with tax cuts, hoping it drips DOWN.

It’s government offering a lifeline to those suffering and dying at the bottom, knowing it’ll bubble UP.

No more “Trickle Down” economics for billionaires; from now on, they get “Up Yours” economics!

Exactly. This is the sincere and positive version of: “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”

The hits just keep coming with this Biden guy.

It’s almost like he’s been preparing to nail this job since before I was born.

Biden IS like the good guy when he’s had enough.

I’ve known a few.

And so do most Americans…

I was very worried, given the rhetoric he used during the campaign, that Biden had learned all the wrong lessons from his time in the Obama administration.

I am very glad that, so far at least, that seems to have been dead wrong.

It’s a feature of the field of economics that being repeatedly proven wrong has no effect on your career as long as rich people stand to gain from your flawed analysis.

People still revere Milton Friedman, for chrissakes.
