Doubtless Krugman reads Bloodless Coup every day and just forgot to hat tip to my great idea about social security queens.
No, this is about ideology: Mr. Bush comes to bury Social Security, not to save it. His goal is to turn F.D.R.'s most durable achievement into an unpopular welfare program, so some future president will be able to attack it with tall tales about Social Security queens driving Cadillacs.
Or is it just that the GOP is too predictable, that even academics and economists are able to see into the future?
