Mitch Daniels, Architect of US Debt Crisis

by Robert Parry Link

May 14, 2011

To hear Official Washington tell it, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is the new “serious” Republican presidential contender. He’s praised as a “fiscal conservative” who isn’t obsessed with the Right’s divisive social agenda nor marred by the crazy “birther” conspiracy theories.

Mentioned only in passing is a key fact that – in a saner world – would disqualify him from holding any government office: Mitch Daniels was President George W. Bush’s original budget director in 2001.

In other words, the “fiscal conservative” Daniels oversaw the federal budget as it was making its precipitous dive from a $236 billion surplus – then on a trajectory to eliminate the entire federal debt in a decade – to a $400 billion deficit by the time he left in June 2003.

The Republican Governors Association has named Indiana's Mitch Daniels the policy chairman of its public policy committee.
Daniels' policies have frequently been emulated by other Republican governors including Wisconsin' Scott Walker and Ohio's John Kasich. He says that with 29 Republican governors across the nation now, the group decided to have a "more prominent voice on national issues."


Daniels also says the policy committee will begin a program of what he calls "innovation matchmaking" to allow Republican governors to learn from each other.
