pity
the administration seems to be genuinely surprised that supply side economics isn't setting the economy on fire. like it did in the 80's. it appears that at least some of them really honestly believed that tax cuts for the rich would be good for the non-rich. which makes it pretty easy for the ones who knew better to feign flabbergastedness and get re-elected. neat huh? in retrospect you gotta wonder. how does giving money to wealthy people get more money to poor people? you can torture logic. or you can cut gordian's knot with occam's razor. it doesn't.
