Paul Krugman Says it Better Than I

I find it useful to quote people who agree with me because it's too weird to actually quote your own self. So here's today's Krugman (Don't Cry for Reagan):

"... both cronyism and abuse of power are part of the movement conservative package. In part this is because people whose ideology says that government is always the problem, never the solution, see no point in governing well. So they use political power to reward their friends, rather than find people who will actually do their jobs."

This is why Bush, Bush & Reagan negligently and actively destroyed the government. And as Katrina and Walter Reed has taught America, there are just some things that we need and that only government can do.
