| | Paul Krugman, at least, must think this is great.
Like when he cherry picked the top marginal income rates from JFK's America, and blew right by the fact that JFK was only spending $100B in a nation more than half our present size (180 million vs. 330 million), over half of which was for defense at the peal of the Cold War.
I meant it when I wrote it; Krugman had a lot of balls bringing up JFK's America and its vibrant Interstate building/SS funding/Moon going economies. It's true, that America was before Medicare/Medicaid, and it's also true that America was not characterized by Americans stepping over dead bodies in the streets outside of hospitals, like the current political Soviet era street theater would have us believe.
With more than a little irony, in the actual USSR, maybe, but not in JFK's America.
I wonder, what laws has France put in place to -try- and nail its victims to the floor and keep them from leaving? Will much of our press actually report any of that while they are fawning over this great progressive idea?
regards,
Fred
