Reid it and weep

I have to admit, I wasn't exactly thrilled when the Democrats chose a pro-life, soft-spoken old white dude from Nevada in the form of Harry Reid as the Senate Minority leader...but I am happy to have been proven wrong about him.

Already, Reid has been more than willing to stand up to the Administration on every issue from protecting Social Security to blocking federal nominations of extremist judges. And he's coined some nifty phrases, as well, like calling the growing deficit a "birth tax." The deficit is, in effect, a birth tax for the next wave of Americans, placing a financial burden on future generations. What's shocking is how well and easily articulated the phrase is. It's been awhile since I've heard a Democrat distill the argument down to one nifty soundbyte.

And now Reid has stood up to the recent carelessness of Alan Greenspan, a man who's opinion I had trusted after the spectacular boom of the 90s, but who betrayed our trust by helping promote an irrepsonsible fiscal policy which has yielded the largest deficit in American history.
