Krugman: "The Economic Damage Done By The GOP Since 2010"

Renaissance medal with the legend, "Atila, Flagelum Dei"
(Latin for "Attila, Scourge of God")

Attila the Hun

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attila

America's political center has migrate to the right of Attila, making it easy to forget/deny the ongoing economic damage done by an intellectually bankrupt party whose harpy-shried is "lower taxes!"... in an environment where taxes have never been lower.

"[I]t's important to recognize that the economic damage from obstruction and extortion didn't start when the G.O.P. shut down the government. On the contrary, it has been an ongoing process, dating back to the Republican takeover of the House in 2010. And the damage is large: Unemployment in America would be far lower than it is if the House majority hadn't done so much to undermine recovery." Paul Krugman in The New York Times.
