Discussion: Paul Krugman Rips Joe Scarborough For 'Vile' Accusation That Census Is Cooking The Books On Obamacare

Discussion for article #221420

I watched it and I think PK is over reacting just a bit, but I do understand the problem with how flippantly people make such serious allegations

A failed politician on television always knows more than anyone with experience and education in an area, just ask them.

The Republican Fantasy World only allows for any success by anyone non-Republican to automatically be guilty of “cooking the books.”

None of this should surprise any of us. Neither is there anything that can be done to keep it from happening. Those who claim the ACA numbers are being faked, are the same people who loathe anything Obama but love their SSI checks every month. Or love their Medicare or their unemployment, or their disability, or their pell grants or their GI Bill or whatever, yet simply refuse to acknowledge anything that might be of good news to a Democrat.

It’s not just Obama either. Sure they hate him and always will. But they hated Clinton too. How many times did they tell us he was going to destroy the country? Was going to take all of our guns away?? How many times have they claimed the surpluses were the result of the GOP congress? How many times did they blame him for weakening our military-- the very same military they chest thumped when Bush sent it into Never Ending War. They’re insane. And the best thing we can do is to never forget just how insane they truly are.
