magical republican thinking, his budgets and how rhetoric matches up with reality. barbara buono was reporting out in republican world, a tax increase counts as a tax increase if it is on the wealthy. lowering earned income tax credit. a tax on the working poor she points out. that doesn t count. raising fees. that apparent lely doesn t coun. the other piece of magical thinking, remind me of paul ryan. he projects that lowering taxes on businesses and on, millionaires is going to somehow magically increase revenue. he has a lot of rosie predictions about the state s growth that when it doesn t come to pass his revenue projections fall far short of what was originally anticipated. he has to grab money from the other pots to fill the gap. john, we just saw the video. he ran for governor saying here s exactly what i will do as governor. exactly what i will do.
