Krugman: Rand Paul "actually has no idea that the deficit is falling; it’s quite possible that

6. Krugman does not get it, because he is compassionate man.

It's the same reasoning Democrats use, and they will never get it, eiher. There's a reason the GOP will never give this up.

Just calculate how much goes into healthcare, housing, education, food, labor and environmental laws and other payments. The GOP will see a deficit until that is eliminated.

That's the core of their meme, not facts about to make government work. They don't want the federal government to exist for the people they want gone.

We have to face we are dealing with a cabal intent on destroying those things and will keep on fussing until they are either shoved hard out of government or they win.

And there will be no going back once they've done it, this is not the same nation as FDR had. They'll keep at it because government is not good for their bottom line.

A lot of people who now benefit from all of those things, are not good for their bottom line either, nor are any laws that protect them. JMHO.
