Meanwhile, Joe Klein finally reaches the top of the crooked staircase, whereupon he turns to look back, and discovers:
In truth, class warfare is what the Reagan Era gave us: thirty years of tax breaks for the wealthy at the expense of the common weal, thirty years of lax regulations which enabled the bankers to strip-mine the savings of average Americans while reaping huge rewards in Ponzi schemes, like the micro-dividing of mortgage assets that were really debits. Once again, I’m not sure Obama’s proposals will work—some will surely be more successful than others, there’s a good chance that rather than being too bold, he isn’t being bold enough—but I am absolutely certain where the continuation, or augmentation, of Reagan-Bush policies would leave us: even worse off than we are now.
Eureka!
Someone hand Joe the bolt cutters so he can remove the ball and chain from his ankle manacle.
