Another Salvo...

Krugman's newest column at the NY Times is up, and it provides another illustration of what seems to be the overriding Republican strategy...Sugar coating attacks on popular programs to press through regressive long term policy changes. Medicare is the example here, but this tactic has been used constantly by both the Bush Administration and Congressional Republicans to launch what can really on be regarded as an attack on the middle class.

What's so galling about this strategy is that you've got people like Grover Norquist running around singing from the hills about the real drive behind these policies, but it just goes largely unnoticed.
