From Inequality: A Problem? I think we should simply give up trying to redistribute income on the tax side and accept that it can only be done meaningfully on the spending side...

The first Friday of every month, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the previous month's unemployment rate, has become a day Republicans eagerly look forward to and Democrats dread.

Royal Court, LondonYou may, according to taste, find the title a come-on or a turn-off. But, far from being a sensational shocker, Mike Bartlett's play is a sharp, witty study of a man helplessly torn between his longtime male partner and a loving woman.

Reducing the VAT rate temporarily would be a wonderful way...  

Actually, Bruce Bartlett - a Reagan Treasury official and supply sider who remains conservative but has acidly critiqued Reaganomics and Bushanomics - took on not just Zuckerman but deficit hawks in general at his blog: Yesterday [Friday], Mort Zuckerman, owner of the New York Daily News, exercised his prerogative by publishing an essay in that publication complaining that "Obama's spending and borrowing leaves U.S. gasping for air...  

"What good are tax cuts when people have no income to tax? In this crisis we've run into the same problem we had in the Great Depression: a liquidity trap. Money isn't circulating. The stimulus package may have been over-sold by Obama, but the principle was correct. We need government spending to get out of the trap." -- Bruce Bartlett, former official under Reagan and Bush 41  

I’ve known and liked Bruce Bartlett for more than 20 years, so you can imagine my dismay that he is now pimping for a value-added tax (VAT). I’m not sure whether his mind has been captured as part of a remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers or if he’s just been hanging around Washington for [...]  

The New American Economy: The Failure of Reaganomics and a New Way Forward By Bruce Bartlett (Palgrave MacMillan, 272 pages, $28) The title of Bruce Bartlett's book, The New American Economy: The Failure of Reaganomics and a New Way Forward, is misleading. The first six chapters of the seven-chapter book aren't about the "new" economy, but rather serve as an economic history of the United States from the Great...  

(Tulsa, OK) - The GOP candidate for Tulsa mayor is an oilman but Dewey Bartlett Jr. is talking about ways for the city to use less of the stuff.  Bartlett thinks he has ways to make significant cuts to the city's energy bill.

Included in his proposal is the use of solar energy to produce electricity for city buildings.  Bartlett has put his money...  

HOLLAND - Roman Perez scored four touchdowns and Eric Walker and Gabriel Gadison scored two each as the Bartlett Bulldogs erupted for a 62-14 win Friday night over District 26-A rival Holland at Hornet Field. The win keeps Bartlett (4-2 overall, 1-1 in 26-A) in the thick of the hunt for a playoff spot, while the Hornets (2-5, 0-2) are in danger of falling out of contention.  

The always-interesting Bruce Bartlett has this piece in Forbes rejecting the idea of a payroll tax cut, being floated again as a potential part of a rumored "second/third/fourth stimulus package": [I]t's clear from looking at labor markets that the problem for employers isn't that labor costs are rising excessively, but rather that there is no demand for their output. Under such conditions, a small cut to labor costs, such as might result from...

We've heard The Conformist's quietly exultant opener "Breathing Out." Those familiar with Thomas Bartlett's project know that as Doveman, Bartlett rarely raises his voice above a whisper, even when the atmospherically dense music -- often performed by members of the National, Nico Muhly, Sam Amidon, etc. -- and voices around him start bellowing. A good example comes later in the album via "Angel's Share," which finds Bartlett leading a choir...

From ABC NEWS: “President Obama told ABC News’ Charles Gibson in an interview that if Congress does not pass health care legislation that will bring down costs, the federal government “will go bankrupt.” I see, we need to spend $2.5 trillion on a government take-over of health care — or the U.S. will go bankrupt?
