The Federal government IS a jobs program for all the surplus lawyers who control the Democratic Party.<br /><br />As for honesty? Missing In Action during the entire reign of America's 44th president. Perhaps that is why #44 anointed Hillary to continue the destruction of the American economy, armed with the platform of what is called the Democratic Party.<br /><br />Krugman does not bother to read the Party platforms. His assignment is to deflect any attempt to actually discuss the present, e.g. "Bushonomics". <br /><br />Krugman must be having night terrors when his brain tries to reconcile all the falsehoods in a series of nightmares...<br /><br />Oh, wait. I am the one with the night terrors, traumatized by the daily drumbeat of so very many lies from the Democratic Party I once trusted. Cancelled my NYT subscription in 2008, in part due to Krugman's metamorphoses from must-read economist to political hack. <br /><br />Still having night terrors as defined where your screams while dreaming wake you up. <br /><br />The Federal government needs a long time-out: no more new laws or regulations until they clean up the avalanche of legalese legislation and regulations that only the lawyers can pretend to understand. Are they not still trying to regulate dust on dirt roads?<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
