It's safe to say that Bruce Bartlett despises the current Republican Party and candidates

Economic Experts Gather In DC To Explain Why Politics Has Doomed Us

<...>

But close observers of U.S. politics know how unlikely that is. Bruce Bartlett, a former Reagan adviser who is a harsh critic of the current Republican party explained why.

“Basically we’re still stuck in the situation we were three years ago and we haven’t made any progress at all except that our problems are much worse because of political reasons, because we now have a crazy party in charge of one of the Houses of our Congress and they won’t allow anything to happen because it’s in their vested interest to make things worse,” Bartlett explained in his typically exasperated way. “Plus they have a theory that is completely nuts…. I’m very depressed. I’d love to see some program like this (paper) enacted. I see zero chance of it happening. The most we can hope for is that a complete crazy person like Newt Gingrich gets the Republican nomination, the Republicans lose so badly that they lose control of the House and don’t get control of the Senate and then maybe in a year we can finally talk about doing something rational such as what is discussed in this paper.”

3. He should know.

He is one of the many who contributed to creating this situation. It started back in the Reagan Error.

Don't like it, Bruce? Tough shit. You should have thought about that 30 years ago when you were feeding your boss your own bullshit.
