Shocker! Americans Prefer Tax Cuts Over Government Spending
Shocker! Americans Prefer Tax Cuts Over Government Spending: "
Yet another blow to the Keynesian theory of economic management. Of course, the American public has had since late 2008 to watch what happens when the government goes ballistic with spending, and seen how well that hasn’t worked
When faced with a budget crisis, most Americans think “it’s always better to cut taxes than to increase government spending because taxpayers, not bureaucrats, are the best judges of how to spend their money.”
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that 59% of Americans agree with that statement, while 26% disagree. Fifteen percent (15%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The thing is, we don’t really have to give more tax cuts, per se. Just have the President and Congress say early on “hey, we’re going to reauthorize the 2001/2003 tax cuts for, say, 5 years”, which would have offered some stability in the economy. Maybe some tax free weekends, or, how about tax free summer? That, and not spending like ferrets on crack.

RE: Yes We Can, But…
As Pete pointed out, the president's appearance on Jon Stewart's show was a telling one. It's not only we conservatives who think it was a bad outing for Obama. Dana Milbank observed:
The president had come, on the eve of what will almost certainly be the loss of his governing majority, to plead his case before Jon Stewart, gatekeeper of the disillusioned left. But instead of displaying the sizzle that won him an army of youthful supporters two years ago, Obama had a Brownie moment.
Obama may have thought that he'd get the "cool kid" treatment — the condescending left is full of his kind of people, after all — but, instead, he was the butt of the joke. Milbank continued:
"In fairness," the president replied defensively, "Larry Summers did a heckuva job."
"You don't want to use that phrase, dude," Stewart recommended with a laugh.
Dude. The indignity of a comedy show host calling the commander in chief "dude" pretty well captured the moment for Obama. He was making this first-ever appearance by a president on the Daily Show as part of a long-shot effort to rekindle the spirit of '08. In the Daily Show, Obama had a friendly host and an even friendlier crowd.
And yet he wound up looking neither cool nor presidential. Milbank suggests that this was an attempt to compensate for a lousy MTV outing. (Then, "he was serious and defensive, pointing a finger at his host several times as he quarreled with the premise of a question.") But it was really an attempt to compensate for a lousy two years.
In a real sense, Obama has tried to maintain two contradictory roles. On the one hand, he wants to be the darling of the left and of the cultural elites. He sneers at middle America, turns up his nose at "triumphalism" (as he described pride in the Iraq war effort), finds shoddy our record on human rights, attacks Wall Street, and finds American exceptionalism gauche. But he is also president, commander in chief, attempting to encourage an economic revival, leader of a major national party, and — most important from his perspective — up for re-election in 2012. The darling of the left runs headlong into the presidential/2012 candidate. We saw the dramatic clash of these two roles in the debate over the Ground Zero mosque. Obama and the leftist elites vs. everyone else.
But here's the thing about the leftist elites — nicely personified for this purpose by Jon Stewart. They don't like a loser. Cool kids are not losers. Their spin doesn't get by the cynics and the wisecrackers. So, pretty soon, the cool kids have something in common with the rest of America: they conclude that this president is a bumbler and not, after all, the change they were hoping for.

The $25 trillion recovery
The $25 trillion recovery: "
Here's another milestone in the current global recovery: the market cap of global equities has risen $25 trillion from last year's low, a very impressive gain of no less than 100%. Millions of pessimists hanging out in cash since then have left a lot of money on the table.

If Housing Double Dips, Consumer Confidence Is Toast
If Housing Double Dips, Consumer Confidence Is Toast: "
"
Housing and consumer confidence weren't always joined at the hip, but that's because home values always rose regardless of the economic cycle.
That's changed since 2007, as Doug Short notes in this chart. The two clearly move together.
So if housing double dips -- as yesterday's Case-Shiller made abundantly clear is a possibility -- consumer confidence is probably shot. And so, probably, is the recovery.
