Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

To Everyone Who Hates The Debt Deal

Elect a Democratic House, Senate and President in 2012 and maybe we can have a sane effort, balanced between revenues and cuts to some programs - like farm subsidies, to balance the budget.

If you want sane policy, the negotiations have to be between Democrats and Blue Dogs, not Democrats and Tea Partiers.
