Code Brown! Scottie equates child tax credits, oil industry subsidies

We could, for example, start with Brown’s odd boast that he’s pro-contraception – a position he says he’s held “since I was 18 years old” – despite the fact that he agrees with the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby ruling. Or maybe we should kick things off with the fact that Brown has now changed his mind, once again, about whether he believes in climate change....

Shaheen argued that the already shrinking deficit could be even smaller by closing some existing tax loopholes, including billions of dollars in tax breaks the extraordinarily profitable oil industry receives but doesn’t need. “There’s real money there, and if you add it up, you begin to see the impact it would have,” the Democrat said....

Wait, did Brown really equate the child care tax credit with oil-industry subsidies? Why, yes, actually he did.

I suppose at a certain level, this was a step in the right direction for the Republican. Two years ago, running in Massachusetts, the then-senator argued publicly, “Oil companies don’t get subsidies…. I’m positive.”

1. Mr. Centerfold shouldn't try thinking. It's way too hard for him. nt

2. He is such an ass.

I can't think of one republican that I want to see defeated more than him.
