Question asked by Paul Begala on the "new, improved" Imus in the Morning on RFD-TV: Why don't the Democratic candidates talk about the recession instead of firing accusations at each other about race, gender, and the pecking order as heirs of the civil rights movement?
Possible answer: Mr. Begala makes the startling statement that it is part of the Democratic platform that we have a consumer economy, thus presumably we need to encourage spending. (I thought that a consumer economy had been a given since at least V-J Day, but moving right along....) What is unclear, I should think, is how consumers are going to have that money to spend given the already announced intention of the Democrats to raise taxes / eliminate tax cuts.
Maybe that's why they're not talking about it.
