Wow. Disagreeing with Krugman = bigotry? Who would have known.

Wow! A whole 9%?! ZOMG!!11!!

Many of these outsiders look white, thus they fit in well into whiteyville.

Yes, let's be like Sweden and kick out all Americans who are not of Swedish descent...... Then we would behave like Swedes.

But we can still act tolerant of other countries from the comfort and safety of our white suburban neighborhoods, right? You know, like liberal 1%ers do.

No, the use of the Ks in that post that were a blatant sign of bigotry...as was the censored word. That post wasn't about Krugman.

How's austerity working in Ireland? In Spain? In Portugal? In Italy?

I like how summers73 has completely overlooked such strong unions and socialized healthcare, two things that the Cons like to label as going to the dark side. Yet they seem to be great programs for Sweden.

So you are correct summers73, we should be more like Sweden, lets start with universal healthcare and a massive expansion of unions
