Looks like it’s time once again for a reminder that Larry Summers’ entire career is an unbroken string of failure and catastrophe
“This is a bad strategy for steering a country through a crisis” says the man who came up with the economic transition plan for post-Soviet Russia
“We have to spend money prudently” says the man who left a multibillion-dollar university unable to pay dining hall workers for the breakfast shift
Larry Summers has the same theory about politics and governing that Donald Trump has about physical exercise, that you have a limited lifetime supply of vitality and anything you put effort into doing will use it up faster, forever 
Who better than an architect of the Obama recovery plan to be giving advice about what a presidency must do to protect its congressional majorities??
Anyway just because I let Politico’s new Playbook ghoul team successfully troll me on substance, don’t overlook that they also classify Larry Summers and the austerity creeps as “the left” because there is nothing in politics but a contest between two sports teams
