Of Course Krugman is Right

It's been obvious to anyone with half a brain for years.  Unfortunately the horrible people who rule us are too stubborn to admit they have been wrong, in large part because they would have to own up to the consequences of their mistakes--which have been devastating.  It's been clear for some time that having knowledge, facts, history, and objective correctness on your side has no value in the debates taking place (in Washington or the Euro).  Our supposedly smart, supposedly Democratic president has endorsed cutting Social Security, for gawd sakes!
