No. Krugman, we never loved the place

KRUGMAN: The 'America we knew and loved is gone'
The Indians fought the swamp, the South fought the Swamp, the Mexicans fought the Swamp.  The Swamp carpet bombed 2 million Viet rice farmers, sixth place in modern genocides.  It was the Swamp that imposed race quotas, not very popular. The Swamp is now consuming some 25% of the economy, the Swamp debt is so large we have had to turn governance over to the wealthy so that interest payments can be made.
No, don't like the Swamp, don't like Yawker corruption, from either party.  And your MIT basket weaving theory is a cover for corruption. Americans are not too patriotic anymore.
