Bruce Bartlett at NRO

Democrats foolishly believe that they can win in November running against deficits and tax cuts. Republicans hope they do. They know too well that this never worked for them. And with inflation and interest rates at historically low rates, it is hard to see what Democrats can offer voters in the way of tangible benefits in terms of even lower rates.

Deficits are not a problem. As a share of the economy, they are very modest. Raising taxes or rescinding tax cuts — which are the same thing — would only fuel additional spending and do nothing to reduce deficits or aid the economy.


Bruce certainly has the script down. But I hope he blows his audition. And no points at all for originality.
