But seriously, folks, Krugman and others use the term 'the villagers' or the beltway 'villagers' to denote a class of folks, mostly politicians and pundits, who live in their own world in Washington, ignoring reality in preference to their own strongly held beliefs. The Austerity myth is strong with these folks, for example.

I find it fascinating that Krugman has decided to weigh in on this matter at the exact same time as HRC's proxies are doing so, and using the same arguments. Makes one think that there might be more of a connection there than previously suspected.
