I agree until the author gets down to blaming Republicans. IMO both political parties are equally to blame for the current situation ...

Well, you can blame Democrats for some things, but the things Krugman is talking about are being driven by Republicans. Who wanted to massively lower taxes for the wealthiest 0.1% of Americans? That was the Republicans. Who wants to dismantle Social Security? Republicans. The postwar boom and end of the Great Depression are due to ... guess ... Democrats - Roosevelt and Truman presided over that era. And our most economically successful period in recent years? Clinton was President.


But lets just pretend they're all a like and vote at random. Or, we can do what you do and not vote at all.
