	Read &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/30/opinion/krugman-phony-fear-factor.html?_r=1"&gt;the original article here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Mr. Krugman, as usual, blames his disconnect with reality on his opponents who are, at least, giving lip service to opposing his failing Keynesian policies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Reading this article reminded me, for some reason, of President Obama&amp;#39;s rhetoric concerning the new budget - how Congress must &amp;quot;put politics aside&amp;quot; and pass the bill for &amp;quot;the good of the nation&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; His speach implies that a person who opposes on principle; the imposition of more regulation, more distortion of the market through government spending, more distribution of monopoly privilege, etc. is an enemy of &amp;quot;the nation&amp;quot; and must be destroyed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Things just get more and more like &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four"&gt;1984 &lt;/a&gt;every day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
