The Fiscal Pivot

The Fiscal Pivot: "It is simply astonishing that the GOP is now posing as a party of fiscal responsibility. It's like Bristol Palin campaigning against teen pregnancy. They cannot be allowed to get away with this canard without a thorough accounting of their own profound responsibility for the current state of affairs. Obama was forced to spend in his first year to avoid a second Great Depression. He must be careful not to overdo it and risk a double dip. But he must make solvent government his core objective and he must pound that home day after day, even as he also focuses on jobs. Without that kind of reform, no one should have long term faith in the US economy - because its political system is failing it."
