Spending 2.4 trillion of borrowed money on Iraq is a crisis. A wildly popular social program that is fiscally sound until 2042 is a solvable problem.

>Krugman is repeating the same thing the Democrats are saying about Social Security. "Nah, there's no crisis coming in the future. That's just GOP fearmongering!" >He gives no defense, no good facts to support the notion that SS is fiscally sound. All he does is blame the so-called hysteria on Republican ideology, then echos the public sentiment that they want what you want, a "safety net." There's no good reason to believe that it should be in such a crisis. The people who came up with the argument that it's unsustainable are the people that don't believe it should exist in the first place. >Then Krugman goes on to criticize Obama (and Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, and those "doomsayers inside the Beltway") for calling it a "crisis." The conclusion of Krugman's hit piece is rich in partisanship: Do you even know what partisanship means? You throw the term out a lot. -Z
