Reminder
"There's a scene in Ron Suskind's new book, The Price of Loyalty, that illuminates the point in another context. In a 2002 White House meeting, Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill is arguing strongly against a second round of tax cuts for the wealthy. At first, the president seems to agree. "Didn't we already give them a break at the top?" he asks. Karl Rove reminds Bush that he must "stick to principle," and he does. The "principle" to which they have devoted their presidency is that the "top" - not the middle class or the uninsured or the grandchildren who will shoulder the cost - go to the front of the line every time." - - Jonathan Alter, in Newsweek.
