Paul Krugman is ignorant

Paul Krugman asks the question "Most of all, it's about what has happened to America. How did our political system get to this point?" HT Kevin Drum

It's pretty simple, Paul. The Democrats, starting with FDR, made government bigger and bigger and let it control more and more of American life. The Republicans have given that trend a boost in recent years. The result is that there's more and more power at stake with each election. Power corrupts. The solution is to take this power away from government and give it back to the people.
