      Remember, we are just a week away from the next budget crisis, which begins the minute Democrats take control of the House. Every major media figure will agree that the crisis is caused by GOP policies but that Democrats must nevertheless do the right thing & fix it.

      One can hope that House of Representatives incoming class, who've grown up under this dynamic, will be less taken in by it.

      Nope. The Democratic leadership believes that deficit reduction is good politics. The media bandwagon will be intense. Every lobbyist from every industry will say that deficit reduction is the ONLY thing that will restore confidence to the stock market. You'll see.

      My view has been that the problem is this country is run by people whose formative period is late1970s-early 1980s Great Inflation and that budget/econ policy might improve as those folks pass from the scene. I guess you think that won't happen.

      Increasing longevity has kept them in positions of power longer than in the past. For Larry Kudlow, it is ALWAYS 1980--high inflation, high interest rates, high taxes etc.

      I often think this -- that our politics are stuck in the debates of the 1960s/1970s because the Boomer generation is so long lived.

          conservatives don't have cogent arguments to advance their position, just character assassination against all who oppose them. this is how Trump filtered to the top, and W before him

          And Boomers VOTE. To all the younger folk that couldn't be bothered to turn out, remember: self-inflicted wounds are always the most painful.

          A core failing of human nature is to misidentify the actual problem. It's what makes history so .. entertaining, after the fact.

          Boomers were born 1946-1964. Coming of age in the late 60s, primary concern of the oldest was Vietnam. The "Silent Generation" that preceded them (and several of whom remain in leadership in Congress) have had at least as much influence. Many Boomers haven't even retired yet.

          But Kudlow is a chucklehead appointed by an imbecile. He wouldn't be in power if our system wasn't so broken.

          But this cycle, they acted so quickly and we've gone through this so many times perhaps the memory will be fresher. But still the media will both-sides it.

          One of the greatest sins of the boomer generation (my generation) was its embrace of neo-liberal economics. The institutionalization of profits over people has caused real human suffering so the rich could get richer.
