Why Do Americans Continue to Believe GOP Bullshit?
Today’s Liberal Beef? Why do Americans continue to believe such bullshit from their GOP politicians? It appears that the Reinhart-Rogoff battles over their faulty data about government debt have flamed out. Even the inventors of the 90% debt cliff are now anxious to portray themselves of cautious supporters of expansionary fiscal policy. This should mean that sober policy types everywhere can turn to the immediate problem of reducing unemployment with more expansionary fiscal policy. Unfortunately, this does not appear likely to happen. Even though the case against stimulative fiscal policy has been blown to hell, there is little impetus in the United States or Europe to change course. The counter-argument appears to have two sides. First, growth has picked up so that we don’t really need it. Second, we really wouldn’t know what to spend money on in any case. Both of these arguments deserve to be called what they are–bullshit.

From The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell: Immigration control’s Magic Kingdom: Should we use Disney’s system?
Texas Sen. John Cornyn argued on Tuesday that the federal government should adopt a similar entry-exit system to the one used by Walt Disney World. Backing the amendment to the bill proposed by Sen. Jeff Sessions, Cornyn contended, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Gang of Eight’s bipartisan immigration bill undergoing markup this week, that if the biometrics system is “good enough for the Magic Kingdom, they ought to be good enough for the United States.”
