Krugman: I Hope This Isn’t True

[ProSense]

8. It's completely bizarre.

It's disturbing that anyone would try to sell this as a rational proposal. I mean, WTF?

Chait's piece is very bizarre. He's positioning this ridiculous proposal as a counter to Republican attacks on ACA:

What’s more, raising the Medicare retirement age would help strengthen the fight to preserve the Affordable Care Act. Republicans may be coming to grips with their lack of leverage over the Bush tax cuts, but their jihad against universal health insurance lives on. Having narrowly lost their wildly tendentious legal argument for striking down health care, they are devising newer and even more implausible ones. Republican governors continue to turn down federal funding to cover their poorest uninsured citizens and refuse to set up private insurance exchanges.

Um, what?

Idiocy: Raise Medicare to strengthen ACA because Republicans lost the legal argument and the election, but they're going to keep trying?

Republican Governors are going to do what?
