Paul Krugman on Barack Obama's Budget Plan

I do not necessarily advise your read Paul krugman's New York Times editorial on Barack Obama's budget plan. It is full of false accusations against republicans, such as claims they will not recognize the legitimacy of a Democrat president. As proof, Krugman cites Republican silence over Mitt Romney instituting a healthcare plan virtually identical to ObamaCare while lambasting Obama for his national scale plan while failing to note RomneyCare is often the number one reason Republicans oppose Romney’s presidential bid. So you can skip his unreasoned, non-factual argument in good conscience.

But there is one question you ought not to skip, because it explains exactly why the president is wrong in very simple terms. Kurgman, ignoring Obama’s desire to raise taxes, says that if a Republican president had offered the kind of concessions on Medicare and Social Security Obama is allegedly willing to make, he would be lauded as a conservative hero. But if that is so, why does Paul Krugman, Mr. We Need Another TARP and I Loves Me Some Death Panels, think the plan is a good idea?

Reason enough to reject Obama out of hand, methinks. Luckily for me, I also have his bullying of older people by threatening to withhold Ssi checks, lying about how 80% of the country want higher taxes during this severe economic downturn, and playing politics by demonizing Eric Canter to help further make the decision Obama is not to be taken seriously.
