Negative Space: Massachusetts

- Elizabeth Warren: no outside meddlers
- “Stay out of Massachusetts,” outsiders, says Elizabeth Brown in a fundraising letter to a Californian in San Diego. I’m a grassroots donor if I give to Elizabeth Warren, but I’m Karl Rove if I give to Scott Brown.
- Keep plucking that Congress
- The more people who can afford their own health care and insurance, the easier it will be to care for the rest.
- Tax event horizon

Eddie Doucette grew up in New England. He learned his trade in his mother’s diner, in the summer schools of New England, and in better and better restaurants throughout Vermont and Massachusetts. Then he moved to Chicago to pioneer television cooking, which is how I discovered him.

“It’s time for a change—just look at the current state of the economy, or our political leadership’s focus on redistributing wealth rather than creating prosperity, or the idea that government should be continually expanded to address any and all problems. We need legislators who embrace their responsibilities under the Constitution and represent the values and needs of their constituents. Our Congress should be of the people and for the people. We need new leadership in Congress and a new voice for Massachusetts.”
- Why the Great and Growing Backlash?

“Voters went for the hope-and-change Obama in part because he promised fiscal sobriety after the Bush $500 billion deficit. Instead, in utterly cynical fashion, Obama trumped that red ink four times over. In the process, he developed a terrible habit of promising favored constituencies a hundred billion here, a hundred billion there as if it were all paper money—rather than real borrowed currency that will have to be confiscated in the future from the beleaguered taxpayer. It only makes it worse that the more the administration borrowed, printed, and spent, the higher unemployment rose and the lower economic activity plummeted.”

“Recent elections have taught us that when a party in power loses its way, the American people will hold them accountable at the ballot box. Today under the Democrats, government spending is up nearly 23 percent and unemployment is higher than it’s been in a quarter of a century. For the past year they’ve built a record of broken promises, fat cat bailouts, closed-door meetings with lobbyists, sweetheart deals for corporate cronies, and midnight votes on weekends for major legislation that wasn’t even read. The good citizens of Massachusetts reminded Democrats not to take them for granted.”
