Norquist Strategy Executed By Obama CoS
Via David Dayen, Obama Chief of Staff Bill Daley echoes Grover Norquist:
The White House acknowledges that more cuts are needed beyond the spending freeze President Obama proposed, chief of staff William Daley said Sunday. Daley, in his first Sunday show appearance since taking office, said that the Obama administration understands that, if it wants to balance the budget, more cutbacks will be necessary beyond the five-year freeze in domestic discretionary spending the president laid out in his State of the Union address.
"It will take a tremendous amount more than that," Daley said on "Face the Nation" when asked if more cuts would be needed beyond the freeze. . . .] We all agree there must be cuts to this government. And again, you're going to see this president lay out a very substantial cut already."
(Emphasis supplied.) Apparently everyone agrees with the Norquist Strategy of cutting taxes and slashing government spending. Reaganomics Lives!
Speaking for me only
