Sitting down, I was. As for Krugman and entitlements, he has maintained, consistently, that the problem is medicare not ss. His recommendation on ss is tweaking, at least as I recall, extending retirement ages as the major one.

But he has been quite consistent on the medicare danger. And, of course, it's actually a part of the entire medical insurance costs, not simply an elderly issue.
