I wonder how Krugman squares the depression period and any resulting partisanship with the period of prosperity the clintons' claim to have given us? There was plenty of partisanship during clinton that had little to do with Monica's dress. Doubt if it only involved the middle class.

Is he suggesting that Vietnam and the current war issues are not causing partisan divides? Does he think that, a small versus large middle class, is less relevant in regard to a question about war than it might be if the question was about personal wealth?

Thomas Fleming wrote that the USA entry into World War II created substantial political debate - partly caused by the FDR promise that he would not send "our boys" to war when he ran for his third term.

Bottom line for me. If Krugman is locked into the finances of the middle class as the reason for all this partisanship today, he needs to pay a little closer attention to what is happening in this world of ours.

I won't be chasing down the article you referenced since no links were provided.
