Guess what, folks: they noticed.
And that's why they're pissed. The smart ones were pissed when Bush did it. Now, they're even MORE pissed that Obama's done it too.
When will the Sharon Angle's, Sarah Palins, Paladinos, and Joe Miller darlings of this so-called pissed off teahadist movement show up in a public economics discussion with actual learned experts and explain these 'recovery and rebalancing" economic dynamics that Dave and Noel seem to be easily explaining away.
Let me see... These captains of industry, engine of job creationin the economy- corporatists were pissed when Bush over spent, but didn't see any need to openly challenge and protest such spending, because after all... they did get the biggest slice of the tax cuts. So, as along as deregulated money manufacturing centers of financial chicanery were wide open to creatively play banko, they could live with this "other" lproblem of overspending, like by taking on adventures of two war fronts, and those tax cuts themselves, both unfunded or significanlty deficit increasing, etc etc.
But now, on the eve of an initiative to leave the tax cuts in place, for all but the upper 2%, it is time to join hands in some bauky manufactured populist belligerant teaparty movement, and show how pissed they were then - but really are now highly motivated to act by electing some recruited cartoonish figures masquerading for would be legislators in the halls of the US House and Senate? How lucky for our country that we are on the verge of installing some of these titans of greater economic understanding...
