I like reading Krugman too, though I do not agree with him on many issues. Yes, I think the tax cuts were the right thing to do. Ideally, however, they would have eliminated income taxes entirely and replaced it with a sales tax that exempts grocery items, utilities, and other necessities. >>in which poor Americans generally go without even basic health care. I am not convinced that health care is something the government understands how to value. >>it may well be a place in which only those who can afford >>expensive private schools can give their children a >>decent education. It isn't that way now? Public schools are failing in their stated mission, but not for a lack of funding. In any case, I don't care what happens at the State or local level. New Jersey can raise taxes or replicate the Year Zero Total Revolution of Pol Pot for all I care, just so I don't have to live under such a regime.
