Paul Krugman: Why the Republicans in DC Are About to Get Much More Dangerous

Now that John Boehner's gone, the extremists in his party are going to be even worse.

John Boehner was awful, or as Paul Krugman writes in Monday's column, "a terrible, very bad, no good speaker of the House. Under his leadership, Republicans pursued an unprecedented strategy of scorched-earth obstructionism, which did immense damage to the economy and undermined America’s credibility around the world."

The trouble is, Boehner was merely a symptom of a far worse strain in the Republican party that, with his exit, will be unleashed on us with even fuller fury.

Mr. Krugman seems to thing controlling government spending was a bad idea. He wants to spend money we don't have like water.

Nothing to go wrong with that kind of thinking...

This guy is obviously a liberal! The problem with the current republican party is the lack of conservatives in the party. If anything the current establishment republicans in office are just as liberal as the Democrats and lack any direction. Too many Rino's A definite house cleaning is in order. They are not listening to the will of the people.

Paul Krugman has always had "issues". No common sense, far, far left.
