Whoa! Bruce Bartlett just told the economics professor

lady on Up with Chris Hayes to "stop being so god damned dogmatic." She audibly gasped. It was in the midst of a discussion on Norquist and tax. Her name is Veronica de Rugy.

I know this sounds crazy but it might make sense to consider Bartlett for a Cabinet position. He seems to have the right attitude toward taxes and deficit reduction.
He also was so far to the right on economic matters that his appointment can be presented as "reaching across the aisle". I mean, the guy worked for Ron Paul! He is one of the first Supply Siders and having him out front making the argument for higher taxes on the rich makes sense to me.
As I said, I know this sounds crazy, but.....

Between my aging brain cells and my tablet screen keyboard, I screwed that one up a bit. Will correct it.
