Paul Krugman, no nation in history has every waged a costly war AND cut taxes at the same time. But these guys want to create there own reality.

did not raise taxes to pay for the war in Vietnam, and we were saddled with terrible inflation for a decade. Of course, Nixon didn't help matters when he instituted wage and price controls in 1970, but that's an entirely different issue.
