QOTD: Brad DeLong
by digby
The Republicans went insane when Obama was elected. And Obama helped along the dysfunction when he pivoted from economic recovery to “grand deficit-reducing bargains” in the fall of 2009. And now we are in serious trouble.
And, people in the White House: No, I do not want to hear “we are doing a lot better than Europe!” again. I have heard that enough already…
A special shout out to DeLong for remembering something nobody else seems to remember: the 2010 election didn’t force the turn to deficit reduction. They were already there.
