More Criticism for Mitch Daniels

[erpowers]

Yesterday, someone posted an article by Robert Parry that called out the Republican Party and Mitch Daniels for their lack of actual fiscal conservatism. After he gave the Republican response to President Obama's SOTU an analyst at the Economic Policy Institute, Andrew Fieldhouse, posted an article criticizing Mitch Daniels for trying to tell President Obama how to handle fiscal policy issues.

Like Parry, Fieldhouse discussed Daniel's poor record as director of the Office of Management and Budget. The article also mentioned the dramatic difference between when President Bush took office and when he left office.

1. Just the new flavor of the week

for the republican party. The crop of candidates is so bloody weak they've been flapping around like a fish on the deck of a boat, just praying that someone, anyone will do actually, will come in and save them.

2. it can't be said enough

"The tax cuts he pushed through for President George W. Bush as director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) are responsible for roughly half of today’s structural budget deficit and half the public debt accumulated last decade."
