Frightening possibility #A: Bush's top aides--Friedman and Bolten, Snow and Mankiw--have told him that his budget shows that his policies really will reduce the deficit in half by 2009, and Bush is naive enough to believe them. Frightening Possibility #B: Bush really doesn't care if everyone who knows anything at all about the budget knows that he's a baldfaced liar, and doesn't care if the entire core ideological warriors of the Republican Party, the staffs of the Cato Institute and the Heritage Foundation, knows that he doesn't give a fig about what they think good domestic policy would be. Which of these possibilities--A or B--do you think is more likely to be true? Which is more frightening?
