NY Times Columnist Sees Gloom in America's Future

NEW YORK (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) is an incessant liar bent on destroying America's social safety net, central bank guru Alan Greenspan (news - web sites) should shut his mouth on issues unrelated to monetary policy and the U.S. media have done a terrible job of keeping the public informed.
If those opinions seem stark, they are meant to be. The New York Times pays op-ed columnist Paul Krugman to ruffle feathers. The Princeton University economist has been writing for the Times since 1999 -- work now compiled in his latest book "The Great Unraveling."
In it, Krugman says Bush lied during his 2000 presidential campaign, lied once he took office, turned a record budget surplus into the biggest deficit to line the pockets of the rich and abused the public's patriotism after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Why doesn't O'reilly debate this guy?
