Republicon fiscal lies + Media Gullibility = Total financial BS (R)

[SpiralHawk]

Paul Krugman at Truthout:

"I was going to be snarky, but this requires seriousness: the gullibility of much of the media establishment in the United States regarding this issue is ridiculous. Their inability to spot the hollowness of Republican claims to fiscal responsibility amounts to journalistic malpractice.

"Republicans have been the party of fiscal irresponsibility since the 1980s. As if to confirm that unfunded tax cuts had become part of the party’s D.N.A., President George W. Bush’s administration convinced Congress to pass the first round of cuts in 2001."
