Krugman on Reality and Republicans

Sometimes I feel like there are people saying the same thing over and over. But if your adversary does that, it's hard to avoid doing it yourself. Krugman here discusses the Republican view of the current state of the economies of Europe.

American conservatives have long had their own private Europe of the imagination — a place of economic stagnation and terrible health care, a collapsing society groaning under the weight of Big Government. The fact that Europe isn’t actually like that — did you know that adults in their prime working years are more likely to be employed in Europe than they are in the United States? — hasn’t deterred them.
