The same tax bill that Nancy Pelosi[1] proclaimed would result in "Armageddon." That she declared was "the worst bill in the history of the United States Congress" and a "monumental, brazen theft from the American middle class."
Over in the Senate Chuck Schumer intoned that the tax cut was "an absolute disgrace," "a cynical one-two gut punch to the middle class," a "stunning deception" and is "so, so bad."
Bill Clinton's Secretary of Treasury and Obama's director of the National Economic Council grimly warned that the tax bill would kill 10,000 people each year and California's "Governor Moonbeam" (Jerry Brown) snarled that the tax cut bill was "evil in the extreme."
Meanwhile, in the real world, millions of Middle and Working Class Americans are seeing substantial pay increases and bonuses thanks to the tax cut. Pelosi is now grumbling that these raises and bonuses are "pathetic.[2]" Then again she also insisted that a large number of Americans out of work and collecting unemployment and food stamps was great for the economy.
1. who plans on celebrating Martin Luther King Day protesting the tax cut.
2. I wonder how many people would snub a $2/hr raise plus up to a $1000 bonus because it is "pathetic."
