Krugman again. That usually means trouble

The fact is that one of our two great political parties has made it clear that it has no interest in making America governable, unless it’s doing the governing.

--Paul Krugman, New York Times, 11/22/10:


Paul Krugman examines Alan Simpson’s recent comments about how excited he, Simpson, is about the prospect of a government shut down or, as Simpson puts it, a “blood bath in April.” Why, Simpson sounds just like a teenager waiting for the next Michael Bay film! “And boy, the blood bath will be extraordinary,” he says.

Sociopaths like Alan Simpson belong in a straitjacket - not in some TV studio spewing bile. Ditto for Newt.
