The Sausage Is Made

And it’s total crap, and it’s a first step on the road to something beautiful: health care as a right for all!

And let’s be clear: the Know Nothings have no difficulty in letting 45,000 Americans die annually for lack of insurance, and they have no problems supporting a racist, homophobic extremist group called the Tea Party within the Grand Old Party…

What’s to be celebrated is the beginning of the end of health care as we know it!

What’s to be feared is extremists who can buy a gun and mete out whatever justice they wish…

The IMF, proving there’s nothing like being ignored to produce the illusion of ignorance, says countries should start fiscal tightening in 2011!

It’s beyond stupid, all the way to pointless, to assert that an output gap in the trillions, virtually no growth anywhere other than China and India, and mass unemployment require fiscal discipline, when the exact opposite is desperately required: far greater stimulus in the US, Europe, and Japan, coupled with far greater domestic consumption by Germany and China.

Where is the inflation? Where are the higher interest rates? Where is it written that we should accept little or no growth for another decade?

Gorilla answers: “Somewhere with whips and chains in the IMF deficit fetish vault!”
