How to End This Depression - Paul Krugman

[hfojvt]

4. "Compromise, if you must, on the policy - but never on the truth"

Wow

There is the problem right there. Democrats have conceded too much of the "truth."

They agree with Republicans that the deficit is scary
They agree with Republicans that government spending is wasteful
They agree with Republicans that taxes should always be cut - never raised (at least for 99.44% of taxpayers, not including the poor who get tax increases that "save" them from even bigger tax increases, and thus it is okay that their taxes went up in the Obama surrender of December 2010.)

No wonder we cannot win a policy debate.
