I was eager to read the NYT Monday morning, because I figured that Bret Stephens would tell me if the GOP had learned anything from the Truss debacle. He did not disappoint. Stephens takes the position that the Truss tax cut program was correct; its failure was due to a lack of nerve and the inertia created by more than a decade of Tory big government rule.
Really? The Cameron/Osborne years can be described as a big government era? What planet does Stephens live on?
If Stephens still thinks tax cuts for the wealthy are a great idea in a time of yawning deficits, increased inequality, and rampant inflation, chances are that the rest of the GOP agrees, regardless of what the markets say.
