From The Bankruptcy Boys, by Paul Krugman, Commentary, NY Times:

"The conservative answer, which evolved in the late 1970s, would be dubbed "starving the beast" during the Reagan years. The idea — propounded by many members of the conservative intelligentsia, from Alan Greenspan to Irving Kristol — was basically ... a game of bait and switch. Rather than proposing unpopular spending cuts, Republicans would push through popular tax cuts, with the deliberate intention of worsening the government's fiscal position. Spending cuts could then be sold as a necessity rather than a choice, the only way to eliminate an unsustainable budget deficit."

The Era of Crooks and Evildoers in America, in terms of economics and finance, was heralded under Reagan-Greenspan. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding—the Crooks have done far better than the rest since 1981 than they did from 1949-1980, the period during which middleclass working Americans did extremely well. Irving Kristol, the father of neo-cons was a crook (any time you see the adjective neo in front of an ideology you can assume that the practitioner is intellectually dishonest, i.e., a crook; the same applies to the adjective reform in front of a religion or a policy; does the religion needs the reform or the practitioner!). Paul Krugman, a neo-Keynesian, is, thus, a crook; hence, the name Krooksman. No crook, or propagandist, is always wrong, or even mostly wrong!

 

Republican propagandist Rush Limbaugh worships Reagan as Ronaldus Maximus, in terms of his economic policies, proving that Limbaugh is an ignoramus Supremus. There is lot of blame to go around between the two parties, I mean organized gangs, but there is no doubt that Republicans are the bigger culprits over the past 60 years. America is doomed as long as either one of these gangs have power. Of course, even a worse organized gang exists—The Federal Reserve—but that gang gets its sustenance form the two political gangs.
