The Administration’s back with another round of minor, pointless middle class handouts.
We’re all pretend populists now!
A child care tax credit? Great if you have income, not refundable if you’re unemployed.
Allowances for caregivers? Wow, $102 million, less than 20% of a Citibank trader’s bonus, guess we’ll all be better off throwing grandma from the train.
Student loan caps? More people can go to school, graduate, and be unemployed, now that’s an outcome devoutly to be wished.
Meanwhile, things like health care reform, which would immediately benefit millions of people, or aid to the states, which would prevent millions of teachers, police officers, and fireman from being laid off, seem to be stuck in a doom loop of Democratic fear and Republican obstruction.
Meanwhile, the deficit, which should be climbing since the federal government is about the only place left in the economy where demand can be created, has become the latest bugaboo.
Meanwhile, the Fed does absolutely nothing about unemployment, nonexistent inflation is what makes phony hawks fly.
It’s difficult to know what to say about a government that doesn’t govern, leaders who don’t lead, and a citizenry that vacillates between pig ignorance and anger as their dreams, livelihoods, and families are destroyed.
