The only “SPENDING” that the GOP is talking about is…that which benefits the working people, children, students, disabled, Vets, and the poor.

It’s just easier not to really look at the BIG SCAM that the rightwing nuts have run on all of us….and how the biggest TRANSFER OF WEALTH in history has gone to the top few millionaires and major corporations.

Conservatives: aka: RE-THUG-LICANS act to protect the WEALTHY from higher taxes …and to get them subsidies. If Congress would STOP THE WARS…bring our troops home… cut off all the “Gov’t WELFARE” (subsidies) that go to OIL, COAL, GAS, NUCLEAR, rich FARMS…and other wealthy people… (AND REFORM THE PRISON SYSTEM) that alone might cut the deficit in half. But that is not the “spending” that the GOP is whining and complaining about…they want to cut the funds for schools, the elderly, children, health care, and unemployment insurance.

I dont know how much I like Krugman because Im not a fan of this Keynesian economic system at all.. Im not a total free market guy because I can see and admit that greed plays a huge role if the structure and sanity of the markets, but I will say that if we are forced to stay with this fractional lending system of debt, that a progressive like Krugman would at least make sure it works to benefit the whole, instead of benefitting the 1% at the expense of the whole (as it currently works).

That would be a total miracle if the White house even mentions his name (which I know they wont because the white house is closer to being right wing than it is to being progressive).
