Yep! Obama BAD!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because can you forgive her?

This is a lovely combination of two wingnut propositions, both cheerfully divorced from reality. First, regulations make hiring people too costly, which is why we should simply let businesses do what they want. Second, the Bush years didn't happen, and are in no way responsible for the present economic situation.

These are both ridiculous things to believe. And they also point out how Muir isn't on the side of the working man, as he imagines himself to be, but on the side of the working man taking it up the shorts. And yet there's no rational reason for him to be. Muir, like many Right Wingers, practices economics as a sort of cargo cult, aping what he believes to be the beliefs of the wealthy in the hopes that one day, he'll be wealthy too, much like Not-Quite-Joe the Not-Quite-Plumber.

Of course, it doesn't work like that. And in fact what these people are doing is supporting policies that will make sure they'll be considerably poorer, and live lives that are considerably more miserable. But hey. Can't let the liberals win.
