Krugman barf alert.
So go vote for Obama and his toxic minister, Paul. You have my full blessing, you liberal twit.
What does an economist know of politics, or a politician of economics?
No McCain supporter here, but Krugman is stupid made permanent. There is no cure.
Cutting taxes without cutting spending is irresposible, especially when you are already running large deficits. The USA has national debt of $9 trillion, and it’s growing fast. That can not be sustained.
The high price of commodities is essentially a rolling devaluation of the US dollar caused by monetary inflation caused by, in part, the US governments inability to live within it’s budget.
If McCain doesn’t have the where with all to cut programs down to size to fix this then his tax cutting proposals are irresponsible, as Krugman suggests.
As a liberal Krugman expects that all government programs that exist will continue to exist and new ones will be added. That is the history of the USA since FDR. That has held true through all types of administrations: Nixon added the EPA, Bush added the TSA, Clinton formeed Americorp.
At some point leadership requires telling the American Children that we can’t have it all. We can’t have low taxes, the biggest military in the world, free healthcare and retirement in comfort at age 62.
I haven’t seen any hard medicine from McCain. Therefore his tax policy just looks like pandering to me.
Donks: “We’ll give you FREE healthcare” !!!!
Reps: “We’ll give you big tax cuts” !!!!
Neither one is dealing with reality, at all.

From the article: **But here’s the thing: the reason the Bush tax cuts are set to expire is that the Bush administration engaged in a game of deception. It put an expiration date on the tax cuts, which it never intended to honor, as a way to hide those tax cuts’ true cost.***
Duh!
Like my dumb Democrat neighbor whining about the rebate “how irresponsible - giving all that money out”. I told her she could just give it back to the Gubmint to which her response was: “No, why should I - everyone else is keeping theirs”
Leftists have been pushing the “Bush is evil, stupid, Hitler, war criminal, etc.” narrative for the last eight years. But after Bush leaves office, that narrative won’t be of much use to them. So with Bush stepping aside next year, the left has to start vilifying McCain the same way to establish a similar narrative for him. The fastest, easiest way to do that is to paint McCain as Bush, which Krugman does here. And Obama will certainly do the same after he gets the nod.
The irony of all this is that McCain has proven he can bash Bush with the best of them.
Just more reasons to get out the vote for McCain!
What did the Tax Policy Center predict would be the result of Bush’s tax cuts?
