Something Wicked This Way Comes
Today we learn that Mitt Romney is going to have an absurd economic plan as the centerpiece of his run for the Presidency. We haven’t been told what the plan is yet, but we have been told he’s lined up the kind of firepower that is willing to defend eating cat poop as the road to prosperity if Romney’s speechwriters worked up the right slogan.
So what is Romney going to suggest? Just more tax cuts? That doesn’t make sense. After all, he doesn’t need those guys to sell it to the base, and most people’s memories aren’t so dim that they can’t remember what happened to their own incomes after Clinton’s tax hikes and after GW’s tax cuts.
But what else could it be? What sits in the black hat, waiting to be extracted by the Harvard Professor and the Business School Dean? Any thoughts?
