So with the hurry of the current bill to extend Bush tax cuts for all (including the high incomes) the Senate both stimulates the economy (Obama wanted this) and aggravates the deficit (the Republican tea-partyers strenuously opposed this.)
If the economy continues to recover, perhaps spurred by these extended tax cuts (who can tell?), then how do we rate them? Deserving our votes next time around for helping economic recovery or undeserving for aggravating the damaging deficit. And then there are those senators, like Bennett of Utah, who don’t have to care – they’re lame ducks anyway.
