Gathering Consensus

Budgets of Mass Destruction

It's appropriate that this column by Thomas Friedman ran on the same day that CBS didn't run MoveOn.org's ad during the Super Bowl, as the two have the same theme. Friedman brilliantly sums up what people should realize between now and November: "long-term tax cuts without long-term spending cuts are not tax cuts. They are 'tax deferrals' — with the burden to be borne by your future or your kid's future."

If Democrats can make this the signature issue of the election, I honestly don't see how they can lose.
