Here is an absolute, ever-lovin' howler from today's WaPo:
Obama officials said they tried to keep the package ideologically neutral, rejecting an option supported by many progressives to make people who are not working eligible for a "refundable" tax credit. And they passed up conservative provisions such as estate tax relief and capital gains tax cuts that disproportionately benefit wealthier individuals.
An economic plan described as a 'New New Deal" is ideologically neutral? Really? An economic plan that will fulfill a quarter century of liberal wishes is ideologically neutral? Really? A plan that completely disregards a quarter century of economic lessons about the power of deep and permanent tax cuts is ideologically neutral? Really? Really?
