Kill The Recovery

Krugman weighs in on the absurd budget cuts of the GOP/Tea Party.

When we ask the basic question which is why does the GOP want to foil the fragile recovery, there are two answers.

They want Obama out, of course, and Obama will take the fall for a collapsing economy.

Also, they want to instill shock and awe American style. This would include imposing the GOP social agenda - no unions, no abortion, no health care, no entitlements, no lunch programs, no nothing and also turn as much middle class wealth as possible over into the hands of corporations vis-à-vis privatization.

Now if you were to get the majority of Americans to actually understand these points, the GOP would be out on its royal ear. Ah yes - FOX News to the rescue...

Republicans have managed to come up with spending cuts that would do double duty, both undermining America’s future and threatening to abort a nascent economic recovery.
