real-time news and commentary for investors
- Friday, May 6, 2011, 11:11 AM The U.S. political class is looking for trouble in all the wrong places, Paul Krugman says: fear of a debt crisis, of runaway inflation, of a disastrous plunge in the dollar. "The destructive effect of focusing on invisible monsters" is preventing us from dealing with "the real crisis: the millions of American men and women who can’t find work."

I will no longer post comments in Krugman discussions unless and until he says something new and different (fat chance of that), and I encourage others to join this boycott.
My question is, why is it that Democrats go along with this agenda?

Too much OPM to pass around.
Too much Kool-Aid
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
-Joseph Goebbels
