Jon Chait bashes David Brooks

A great “yo mama” slam from Jon Chait, who is bashing David Brooks for misrepresenting the liberal agenda:

Brooks writes, “Tax code changes to reduce outsourcing are symbolic.” Well, sure. That’s why it isn’t an important part of the liberal agenda. You know what is symbolic? Advocating a new governing ideology whose sole specific policy prescription is building more monuments.
