I appreciate the fact that he actually points out the absurdity of Massive tax cuts and spending cuts that target the poor.

First, STEPHANIE CUTTER, Obama Deputy Campaign Manager did a respectable job conveying Obama's message.

This is one of many Krugman money quotes

KRUGMAN: Can I say, the Ryan plan — and I guess this is what counts as a personal attack — but it isn’t. It’s not an attack on the person; it’s an attack on the plan. The plan’s a fraud. The plan is a big bunch of tax cuts, some specified spending cuts, basically for poor people, and then a huge magic asterisk which is supposed to turn into a deficit reduction plan, but, in fact, if you look what’s actually in it, it’s a deficit-increasing plan.

And so to say that — just tell the truth that there is really no plan there, neither from Ryan, nor from Governor Romney, is just the truth. That’s not — if that’s — if that’s being harsh and partisan, gosh, then I guess the truth is anti-bipartisanship.

God bless you, Paul Krugman.

Thank you very much for the OP.

The self control of the two left leaning guests is laudable and amazing.

If I found myself engaged in a conversation of any kind with the likes of FEHRNSTROM, it would take every ounce of self control I can muster to prevent myself from ramming my arm down his throat and ripping his lungs out with my bare hands.

These Romney people are despicable! They should all be sent back to their neighborhood Country Clubs with an ankle bracelet and kept under house arrest for the rest of their lives!

-90% Jimmy again.

Gee - turning Country Clubs into prisons for the wealthy is a really good idea, isn't it?
