Gingrich s Tax Plan Would Cause Perpetual Trillion Dollar Deficits, Triple the Debt by 2024

Seth Hanlon, ThinkProgress: 'Gingrich's plan would violate basic notions of fairness by requiring middle-class families to pay higher tax rates than millionaires. But that s not all that s wrong with it. Gingrichs plan is by far the most fiscally reckless plan to be released by a major 2012 contender. The magnitude of the tax cuts he is proposing to the wealthy and corporations would drive the debt to unprecedented and dangerous levels even if federal spending is cut drastically.'

Newt s Tax Plan, and Why His Polls Rise the More Outrageous He Becomes

Robert Reich, Robert Reich s Blog: 'Newt Gingrich has done it again. With his new tax plan he has raised the bar from irresponsibility to recklessness ... First off, Newt s plan increases the federal budget deficit by about $850 billion - in a single year! ... Most of this explosion of debt in Newt s plan occurs because he slashes taxes. But not just anyone s taxes. The lion s share of Newt s tax cuts benefit the very, very rich.'

Surviving the Second Gilded Age

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: 'It has become difficult to not recognize that we are firmly in the grip of a second Gilded Age. Not only is this return obvious in the homage - if not hysteria - that marks a return to the dream worlds of consumption, commodification and a survival-of-the-fittest ethic, but also in the actions of right-wing politicians who want to initiate policies that take the country back to the late 19th century.'

How the Federal Reserve Fights

Matt Stoller, Naked Capitalism: 'Bloomberg released a story on the actions of the Federal Reserve as the lender of last resort during the crisis and the extent of that lending. It revealed lending and guarantees of roughly $8 trillion, and estimated government-granted profit garnered by the big banks of $13 billion. More disturbing were inconsistent statements by Bernanke publicly claiming he was lending only to sound institutions when the Fed s internal assessments of those same banks showed otherwise.'
