That article's even better: the bet was a bipartisan one!
> The WSJ report noted that Cole sought advice from other fiscal policy wonks, including Brookings Institution fellow Jessica Riedl, who said the outcome of the bet “should have been completely obvious to anyone who knows anything about the government, the budget and public administration.”
- duxup 8mo agoAnyone with any sort of intellectual honesty, or reads any kind of responsible news source would know that despite a solidly controlled GOP government, "fiscal responsibility" is just a slogan for the GOP. They're big government and big deficit spenders through and through.
- xorbax 8mo agoI mean, that's the GOP For all the sloganeering, Democratic administrations have better fiscal responsibility about deficit spending It's amazing how Reagan-era propaganda still sticks despite all evidence
