I understand that President McCain is in the Gulf attending to things. He's such a good president.

That’s no accident. FEMA’s degradation, from one of the government’s most admired agencies to a laughingstock, wasn’t an isolated event; it was the result of the G.O.P.’s underlying philosophy. And its not just FEMA. We've seen the problem manifast across the board such as with the subprime crisis. Non regulation, non intervention, indifference to the plight of the average joe etc. Americans have reaped what GOPers have sowed.

JF, > Simply put, when the government is run by a political party committed to the belief that government is always the problem, never the solution, that belief tends to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. I'm sure Krugman never complains about government trying to be the solution for poverty and recession, only to make both "self-fulfilling prophecies" in the process. There isn't a problem he can't solve with some ideal bureaucracy he can think of from the comfort of his own word processor. Tenchusatsu
