Quote of the day has to go to William Gale of the Brookings Institution

Reid was referring to the impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, otherwise known as the stimulus -- essentially, the only Obama policy to really impact people's 2009 tax returns. In fact, tax refunds reached an all-time high this year in part because of the stimulus, the president said in his weekly address on Saturday. Meanwhile, taxes are at their lowest levels in 60 years, according to William Gale, co-director of the Tax Policy Center and director of the Retirement Security Project at the Brookings Institution.


"The relation between what is said in the tax debate and what is true about tax policy is often quite tenuous," Gale told Hotsheet. "The rise of the Tea Party at at time when taxes are literally at their lowest in decades is really hard to understand."

1. It is not hard to understand when you realize that the tea party is being used by the right to get

back in power. The tea party is known to let others do the thinking for them. So the right wing noise machine spouts a bunch of lies and the tea baggers are happy to paint a sign and regurgitate what they hear.
