Yes, and Brad is the one who broke it

America’s Broken System
J. BRADFORD DELONG

Hey, Brad, how does one screw up a massive republic of 50 diverse states? Why, easy to do, just pretend there is a Magic walrus in the Swamp.

And you did just that, Brad, your entire career.  You, and Krugman and Thomas have done more to cram this economy through an inefficient government.  Now you three have screwed us all, and who do you blame? Someone else.
