Occasionally there's some value in taking
conservative policy proposals seriously enough to point out that it's just the same old thing. But the more important thing to do is remind people of what "the same old thing" actually is. The solution to every problem, real or imagined, is to give more money to rich people and kick the poors (and olds if they can get away with kicking their own voters). It's the proper course when the economy is good and when the economy is bad. It's the proper course when the deficit is high, it's the proper course when the deficit is nonexistent. It's just the Republican agenda.
