No worries on ad hominem, Krugman does it very regularly and with malice. I'm not going to join your and Krugman's game, which just adds to the battle of the ideologically bound and blind and helps the goals of all of the entrenched elites and power/control freaks on both sides who greatly benefit from the side show "battles". If you don't see all the heinous and unsane activities on both sides of the power/control freak games, then you don't and its worthless to discuss. "Democracy is a process by which the people are free to choose the man who will get the blame." Education is a method whereby one acquires a higher grade of prejudices. In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. -- Dr. Laurence J. Peter (1919-1988) "Any government will work if authority and responsibility are equal and coordinate. This does not insure "good" government; it simply insures that it will work. But such governments are rare -- most people want to run things but want no part of the blame. This used to be called the "backseat-driver syndrome." -- Robert Heinlein "His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it." -- United States Office of Strategic Services, Adolf Hitler, p.51 "Many people in America seem to be more concerned about the present situation than the Federal Reserve System is. If unsound credit practices have developed, these practices will in time correct themselves, and if some of the over-indulgent get 'burnt' during the period of correction, they will have to shoulder the blame themselves and not attempt to shift it to someone else". -- Roy Young, Federal Reserve Chairman, October 1928
