Overheard on Morning Joe

Tax cuts: Do they make sense?

Joe Scarborough: "You don't raise taxes during the recession. ... You'd be hard-pressed to find any economist to say giving tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires, is going to revive this economy. In fact, you can't really find a mainstream economist who would say that. As a Republican, ideologically, I believe the more you cut taxes, the more we're winning the battle against big Washington. I just can't imagine a Democratic president doing this."

The way ahead of Obama

GOP Consultant Mike Murphy: "He's the President, biggest microphone in town – and if he seizes the opportunity, I think he can get back in the battle. And he's got two years: we know that two years is an eternity in politics. If he gets an economic comeback, he's back in business. If not, [Republicans] get him." Watch the video.
