Krugman is getting close to the edge

37. The "political reality" that you speak of....

Is only reality because governments are now infested with pols who don't work for the majority's welfare, but rather for personal gain and the benefit of those with lots of money who fund their election$. This is all made possible by the corporate-owned media who are there to propagandize us to death with the notion that a top-down, supply-side, trickle-down model is the only way to go...any other solution is just socialism and will fail. Citizens United has just put this basic problem on steroids.

Krugman's basic argument is the economy will not improve until wealth, now concentrated in the top few percent of the population, is put back into the hands of the working-, poor- and middle-classes who spent money directly back into the economy. It's really not rocket science.
