"Gov. Dean raised prescription costs for seniors in his state when he needed to balance the budget. He called himself a 'balanced-budget freak,' " protests John Kerry. On Medicare, Kerry tries to spin Dean: "Are you going to slow the rate of growth? Because that's a cut."
Does Kerry really believe that all entitlement programs are sacrosanct - even those that, in a few years, will destroy the country's fiscal balance or force a huge increase in taxation? At least Howard Dean seems to have said some sensible, brave, fiscally responsible things in the past. But that is now a huge obstacle to winning the nomination. And people wonder why we have soaring debt and deficits.
Uh, Sully, if it's such a "huge obstacle to winning the nomination", why is Howard Dean the most popular Democratic candidate among Democratic activists?
What planet does this guy live on?
