So that's it. Democrats secretly want to be the peace party but are afraid of being criticized. Maybe that's why Johnson got a lot of Americans killed in Vietnam too. I wish Democrats were similarly afraid of Republicans when it came to obscene spending.
Please warn us when you post somthing by Paul Krugman.A few weeks ago, he was encouraging policies that would have needlessly angered China. Now, in this article, he was still grumpy that Merkel and company rejected his ideas to throw a lot of money around. Krugman even had the audacity to mischaracterize Hoover who pursued the same Keynesian policies tried by FDR, W, and Obama. Krugman probably knew better. Since Obama's failure as the Pied Piper of spending, the markets have reacted to the contrasting policies. The dollar is down. The Euro is up. That should add a few pennies for a gallon of gas. Thanks, Barry.
