QOTD: The Shrill One

Krugman say:

[I]n a polarized political environment, policy debates always involve more than just the specific issue on the table. They are also clashes of world views. Predictions of debt disaster, a debased dollar, and Obama death spirals reflect the same ideology, and the utter failure of these predictions should inspire major doubts about that ideology.

And there’s also a moral issue involved. Refusing to accept responsibility for past errors is a serious character flaw in one’s private life. It rises to the level of real wrongdoing when policies that affect millions of lives are at stake.

He's referring here to the conservatives never ever being accountable for what they say. And there's little doubt he'd make the same complaint about the centrist VSPs as well.
