From the Krugman column you posted... >>"Finally, Cornell University’s Suzanne Mettler points out that many beneficiaries of government programs seem confused about their own place in the system. She tells us that 44 percent of Social Security recipients, 43 percent of those receiving unemployment benefits, and 40 percent of those on Medicare say that they “have not used a government program.” "<< Those "beneficiaries of government programs" that "have not used a government program" are not "confused", they are teabaggers, severely conservative ones.
