The comments section had me in stitches. Especially the pseud' who told you to go read some Keynes. You right wing idealogue, you!
There's a word for these people. "Voters".
I realize it was a Minneapolis paper, thus read by many left wing types, but I found the comments depressing. These people never actually engage in argument, they erect ridiculous strawmen and peddle ahistorical nonsense. After spending most of the last decade focusing on how truly awful the American right is, I had almost forgotten that the left is probably a little worse.
