I am sort of listening to some dork named Austan Goolsbee drone on....

He makes me want to beat him up and steal his lunch money. :-)

I am watching Goulsbee for the first time, fascinated because he is projecting panic. He seems to recognize that the tax rate has to stay the same on January first. He still hangs on to the idea that the highest earners should pay more, but he has conceded that the argument for taxing ‘the rich’ will have to be passed down the road for the next two years.

Neither he nor Gregory has mentioned the words “cut” or “reduce spending.”
