Paul Krugman: “stupid democracy.”
New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman wishes the United States didn’t have to have these damned inconvenient elections that might put those damned uncooperative Tea Party Republicans into power.
Barring a huge upset, Republicans will take control of at least one house of Congress next week. How worried should we be by that prospect?
Not very, say some pundits. After all, the last time Republicans controlled Congress while a Democrat lived in the White House was the period from the beginning of 1995 to the end of 2000. And people remember that era as a good time, a time of rapid job creation and responsible budgets. Can we hope for a similar experience now?
No, we can’t. This is going to be terrible.
Let’s see…blah, blah…oh, hell, skip to the end:
…if the elections go as expected next week, here’s my advice: Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Kruggie sees ghosts of the Apocalypse and the writing on the wall for the socialist agenda on Tuesday and I couldn’t be any happier.
Word. Here’s hoping Krugman spends November 3 hiding under his bed.
