Orszag and Cantor: Separated by Policy (and at Birth)?
Peter Orszag, the White House budget director, has been touting President Obama’s proposed 2010 budget as a plan that would set America on a path to economic recovery. Meanwhile, Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) has been deriding the proposal as attempt to “redistribute wealth,” a plan that would create neither wealth nor jobs. So when it comes to policy, they’re all but on different planets; but when it comes to appearance, these Members of the Tribe look like they could have shared a womb.
