Because Trillion Dollar Quagmires are a Family Value
A proverbial Republican 'wish mountain'. Cut taxes now so your kids can pay them later.So far, just about every GOP effort to 'cuts taxes' has just piled up a mountain of debt for the kids to be taxed to pay, either directly or indirectly.
Now, if Romney said something about putting an end to the "CEO culture", that has been bad for business and bad for politics, he'd be more than fluff. Why do you think that all those politicians want to fly on private jets everywhere, except that their perceived "peers" in business are living as large as is now being unearthed in the Conrad Black trial, for instance?
Meanwile, the 'prediction markets' appear to be living up to the research that suggests they lead rather than lag the poll, as seen on the sister blog here vis-a-vis today's Drudge-linked Rasmussen poll showing Thompson ahead of Giuliani.
Of course, even the prediction markets are no match for our broken third-branch and our feckless two-party, political lock-jaw. As The Onion observes, "Poll: Many Americans Still Unsure Whom To Vote Against".
