From Paul Krugman in The Kansas City Star yesterday:
"Sorry to be cynical, but right now 'bipartisan' is usually code for assembling conservative Democrats and ultra-conservative Republicans--all of them with ties to the wealthy, and many who are wealthy themselves--and having them proclaiming that low taxes on high incomes and drastic cuts in social insurance are the only possible solution."
Sadly, Tea Party members, most of whom are likely truly middle-class or lower, support this absurd, selfish, destructive nonsense.
