The New York Times is doing their best to cover the spending tracks left by President Obama. The op-ed, titled "The Truth About the Deficit" could win gold in mental gymnastics. They bend, twist and contort the facts into a pretty little ball of "blame Bush."
I showed you yesterday that George W. Bush was part of the problem, but Obama is pressing the accelerator. The Times claims that the deficit is the result of cutting taxes on the wealthy and they offer this stern warning: "The last thing the government should do is slash spending."
History tells us that "taxing the rich" and slashing government spending are both progressive lies. I read a lot and I read a lot of in-depth history. I could send you to "Woodrow Wilson and the Roots of Modern Liberalsm," but it will make your eyes bleed. Instead, this is a beginner's book of history, a gateway to the history that no one is teaching: "A Patriot's History of the United States."
