Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of the storied NATION magazine, was on "All Things Considered" this afternoon, speaking about the debt ceiling debate in Congress. Her smart commentary revealed how out of touch Congress is. She fears, she said, that Democrats are too much buying into the story line that Americans are worried most about the nation's debt.
She informed listeners that polls show the top suggestion Americans have revealed in polls for reducing the debt is raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires.
She further stated that there has been a terrific misreading of the 2010 election. That election, she declared, was not about the national debt, but about the economy and jobs. The result was a criticism of Democrats for not doing enough on that score. If Ms. vanden Heuvel is right, the Democrats are off on a horrible track for the 2012 election.
