(Alice)Rivlin, who headed the CBO before running the White House budget office during the Clinton administration, was among the Clinton backers signing the letter.
``I don't have to agree with everything she says, and I think she was wrong on this one,'' Rivlin said in an interview today. ``If anything, we need higher gas taxes.''
Alice doesn't bother to explain how pushing millions of Americans closer to bankruptcy would be good for them. But then I wager that she has never had to worry about the price of gasoline, the cost of groceries or explaining to the landlord why she can't pay the rent.
That we pay attention to such people is a national disgrace. That she is a Democrat shows how far a once great party has fallen.
