A not-so-funny thing happened on the way to economic recovery. Over the last two weeks, what should have been a deadly serious debate about how to save an economy in desperate straits turned, instead, into hackneyed political theater, with Republicans spouting all the old clichés about wasteful government spending and the wonders of tax cuts.
For an idea what Krugman is writing about: An e-mail from The National Republican Trust PAC —‘Stimulus': Your Money for Illegals, Welfare Recipients, Arts, and Sex suffices. They urge a "Republican filibuster" to stop the economic stimulus bill in the name of: Ronald Reagan.
These boobs should join forces with some of the obey-the-Party types I've encountered; they have much in common.
