Paul Krugman Rocks the House

I try not to miss an editorial by Paul Krugman, a real economist, not an Arthur Laffer curveball artist.

In this column, he lays the NOLA disaster on the President's and his party's disrespect for government. The President represents the worst of the FBR's. Ideology is the combination of "is" and "should be," and Mr. Bush has consistently come to depend on the latter to the detriment of the former. He has also hit a new low, with his beloved Turd Blossom [sic: a nickname for Rove, GW coined], in politics, i.e. getting what you want in society.

Krugman tells it better here:


"Killed by Contempt"
