Obama's Budget Messages

An interesting insight on the state of political discourse. It really is more like a trial. Politicians are lawyers advocating for their own side.


Obama's Budget Message: You Can't Have Your Cake and Eat It Too | Capital Gains and Games: "Unfortunately, debate on policy issues these days is less about finding common ground and making deals than about framing them into all-or-nothing propositions. Those on each side have become more and more like lawyers in a courtroom, saying pretty much whatever they can get away with to advocate their position, whether as prosecutors or defense attorneys, with the idea that the truth will come out in the process."
