Midknight Review -- new and revised: Krauthammer says the obvious: a two month tax bill is little more than a two month tax holiday.

I really have nothing to add to what Charles Krauthammer had to say on Fox News, the other day. To think that everyone on the Hill is talking about a two month deal when it has to be a two year deal is incredibly partisan and incredibly stupid. A piece of legislation that is good for two months is good for nothing, and anyone who knows anything about financial remedies and stimulus, knows there is absolutely no value whatsoever in Senate proposal just approved - by all but 11 Senators. It is all Democrat politics coupled with GOP stupidity and nothing more . . . . . . it is about the Democrats trying to get back into the game after three years of unbudgeted spending.

Here is Krauthammer per my notes as he spoke Fox News:

"This shows to an outside observer, who know about this stuff and have no political axe to grind. This is bill passed by the Senate is an abomination. It's one of the worst ever crafted by the hands of man. Saying that in this Congress is saying a lot."

"It can't be administered probably in time, and fairly . . . It's nuts as tax policy, a two-month extension. A one-year extension isn't even a tax cut, it's a tax holiday. This two-month extension is nothing more than a long tax weekend. It'will have no effect whatsoever on hiring practices. The idea that Obama saying that this is a jobs provision is not going to have any affect on jobs whatsoever. So it's a terrible bill. . . . Democrats have set a trap for Republicans and they (the Republicans) are going to get nailed on the politics of this matter."

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
