"To bring our economy out of recession, we delivered the largest tax relief in a generation."
Guess what, George? IT DIDN'T WORK. The recession is getting worse. Wanna know why? It's because your tax relief plan didn't do dick for the increasing numbers of people who've lost their jobs. And while I'm sure you're sick of hearing the word, I'll say it: "Enron." Remember them? Ya think maybe some laws that meant anything might possibly have done anything to at least SLOW their inevitable implosion under the weight of their own greedy fuckheadedness? WELL? DO YOU?
If you want to brag about bringing the economy out of a recession, why not ACTUALLY BRING THE FUCKING THING OUT?
Oh, no, instead we have Glenn Fucking Hubbard, who up until he suddenly realised he was working for the administration, was talking about how deficits are bad, and can drive the economy down, now talking about how the same thing THAT'S IN HIS OWN FUCKING TEXTBOOK AS BEING BAD is now such a wonderful thing. And in the meantime, we're headed into a period that even the most kindhearted descriptions refer to as slack, prepared to do more of the same.
And don't get me started on the "everybody's getting an average tax break of thousands" bullshit - if I was in the same room as Bill Gates, everybody in that room would average out to a billionaire, and I'd still wind up broke at the end of the month. It's only working out to an average tax break because they're top-loading the motherfucker!
And if you thought that was bitchy, wait until I get a chance to read the rest of the transcript.
