Besides Dean Baker’s blog Beat the Press, he also has a weekly summary called Meltdown Lowdown. This weeks edition blasts John McCain’s plan to balance the budget.
John McCain would like to claim the legacy of the last popular Republican president, Ronald Reagan. He took a big step toward that goal on Monday when he explained his plans to balance the budget by 2013. Just like Reagan, Sen. McCain claims he can cut taxes, increase defense spending, and balance the budget. For his next trick, he will juggle 27 flaming bowling balls, while standing on one foot on the back of a charging bull, blindfolded.
Just thought I would share that imagery with you. Go check out the rest of the Lowdown.
