"They know the economy needs more stimulus, and that Republicans are loath to allow them to deliver it. Through this deal they were able to secure some stimulative tax cuts....At this point, the White House will take what it can get," or in other words bad deals are OK to get something.
"Obama didn't create this system, but he is making it stronger before our eyes," for capital, not working Americans, suckered into a bad deal Hayes won't admit or maybe understand. Economist David Rosenberg does, calling it "a neutral for the economy," not stimulus to create jobs and revive growth.
Progressive writers, not Obama, have "a historic mandate" to expose a failed president, a servant of wealth and power, an elitist, a corporatist betraying his base. He's beyond rehabilitation. He and the entire Congress needs replacing for of, by and for the people governance. Try reading that in the Nation or most other left of center publications.
Democrats like Republicans are shameless. Their record belies their rhetoric. They'll display it again next week, capitulating like always to wealth and power, calling it the best deal for Americans they could get. For themselves, other rich folks, and their corporate allies for sure.
