Here’s Paul Krugman in yesterday’s New York Times, dropping some truth bombs about the realities of “The Fiscal Cliff”:
“I keep seeing articles about the ‘fiscal cliff’ that do, in fact, describe it — often in the headline — as a debt crisis. But it isn’t… No, what we’re having is a political crisis, born of the fact that one of our two great political parties has reached the end of a 30-year road. The modern Republican Party’s grand, radical agenda lies in ruins — but the party doesn’t know how to deal with that failure, and it retains enough power to do immense damage as it strikes out in frustration.”
