The lead editorial in last week’s Economist concludes with the following moan re U.S. politics: “In America the Republicans are guilty of outrageous obstructionism and misleading simplification, while Mr Obama has favoured class warfare over fiscal leadership.”
Yes, the Republicans would have blown up the U.S. economy unless President Obama agreed to egregiously counter-productive spending cuts, while President Obama argued for eliminating Bush-era tax cuts for rich people. Yeah, that’s class warfare, all right. Thanks for the even hand, guys. Impressive, particularly since 99 percent of your subscribers are, you know, rich! O mores, O fuckin’ tempores.
