"I believe that the administration’s metastasizing economic catasrophe is a critical development.
As I read the history of successful autogolpes, politicians who win an election and then effectively destroy the democracy that elevated them, it is almost always the case that their consolidation of power rests upon the perception of economic achievement."
~ Paul Krugman
