"Calling out VP Biden for his smiles? Seriously? Just last week the GOP was so PROUD of Rmoney for "snarking back at the moderator and schooling our President." Hypocrites. You know VP Biden won because this is all they are complaining about. What they aren't saying is that Lyin' Ryan still in 90 minutes never told us how he is going to pay for the 20% across the board tax cuts for EVERYONE."


Republicans, however, are committed to an economic doctrine that has proved false, indeed disastrous, in other countries. Nor are they likely to change their views in the light of experience. After all, facts haven’t gotten in the way of Republican orthodoxy on any other aspect of economic policy. The party remains opposed to effective financial regulation despite the catastrophe of 2008; it remains obsessed with the dangers of inflation despite years of false alarms. So it’s not likely to give up its politically convenient views about job creation.

And here’s the thing: if Mitt Romney wins the election, the G.O.P. will surely consider its economic ideas vindicated. In other words, politically good things may be about to happen to very bad ideas. And if that’s how it plays out, the American people will pay the price.
