"Since economic policy has to deal with the world we live in, not the fantasy
world of the G.O.P.’s imagination, the prospect that one of these people
may well be our next president is, frankly, terrifying."
Again, Paul Krugman (NW Times OpEd 10/13) makes use of his intellect and economic expertise to expose the doubletalk, stupidspeak and outright falsehoods that the Republicans -- and especially their Presidential candidates -- keep hammering into the squishy brains of those who against all reason believe they are hearing objective truth!
He titles this piece "Rabbit-Hole Economics" and writes that in the Tuesday Repub debate, "Suddenly, you find yourself in a fantasy world
where nothing looks or behaves the way it does in real life.
"In the real world, recent events were a devastating refutation of the free-market orthodoxy that has ruled American politics these past three decades. Above all, the long crusade against financial regulation, the successful effort to unravel the prudential rules established after the Great Depression on the grounds that they were unnecessary, ended up demonstrating — at immense cost to the nation — that those rules were necessary, after all."
Read it all.
Keep thinking positively!
