Warren and the Democrats are like medieval monarchs who governed on the theory that individual property was granted on sufferance by the king to his inferiors. This is exactly backward, hgurdon writes.
FILE - Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., questions the witnesses about Zelle, at a Senate Banking Committee annual Wall Street oversight hearing, Sept. 22, 2022, on Capitol Hill in Washington.he latest episode in the Democrats’ popular series “Let’s turn things on their heads” features Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Republicans also perhaps clung to a self-deluding hope that if the money wasn’t there, if higher taxes weren’t collected because Washington didn’t reach so deeply into everyone’s pocket, Congress might be more restrained in its spending. Neither Biden nor congressional Democrats have, of course, been remotely restrained by the idea that they shouldn’t spend money they don’t have. Republicans weren’t restrained either when they were in control.
The other big area where Warren is totally off base is not to do with her math but with her language and what it implies. When she accuses Republicans of spending $2 trillion by cutting taxes, the suggestion is that the money is by rights the property of the government. This assumption also undergirds the notion of a government “giveaway,” an allied similar trope of leftist fiscal thinking.
