Paul Krugman delivered a damning critique of the current GOP in his latest column for The New York Times, suggesting the partys unhinged lurch will lead people to spend much of 2023 feeling nostalgic for the good old days of greed and cynicism in U.S. politics.
Krugman, who was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 2008, said culture wars waged by Republicans are no longer just posturing by politicians mainly interested in cutting taxes on the rich because many elected Republicans are now genuine fanatics.
And the GOPs control of the House means that the inmates will be running half the asylum, he added.
If Rep. Kevin Mccarthy (R-Calif.) wins enough votes to become House speaker, then actual power will obviously rest in the hands of people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Krugman warned.
