CNBC had Grover Norquist on late last week to discuss Obama's forthcoming tax plan vis-a-vis the current economy. The host (spicy Trish Regan) asks a very simple but relevant question "Should Obama abandon his original tax plan?" It should be noted that I think this is a very fair question. How so? Well when Obama put together his tax plan our economy wasn't in crisis state, it was trending bad, but it didn't' indicate crisis. Things have changed and only idiot leaders "stick to their guns" without a hint of reevaluation during a crisis.
Anyways, it seems like my guy Grover isn't even concerned with the question, the ostensible purpose for his visit is to jab the D's...I give him an A+ for effort and finish up after the jump:
Instead of FURTHERING the debate by laying out cogent reasons why Obama shouldn't raise taxes (there are some), he totally ignores the question and doubles down, blaming the looming recession and market crisis squarely on the 2006 House and Senate Democrats for...lol...having the nerve to get elected, imagine that.
I love debates and cogent arguments. I hate hyperbole and vapid, ideological, recalcitrant partisanism. Political and intellectual leaders would do well to learn that Americans specifically and the globe in general are moving away from hyperpartisanism and "hard right, hard left" memes that have dominated our political milieu for way too long.
