I believe Paul Krugman is great people who don't like great society programs like social security , Medicare and Medicaid are entitled to their opinion but sending hate mail really. I am old and am still working on a farm which I have done for fifty years I have no retirement and some savings but only enough to see me through a few years. I will have to work till my health gives out. I than will be reliant on social security. I have a daughter with health problem s she works and has health insurance but she cannot afford the deductable s and childcare. I help her all the time with money. I fully support the New deal programs that Professor Krugman supports and I approve of him very much. Everyone in lower middle class suffers from Resentment do not let it rule your life and turn you into hater you are only destroying your happiness but you're miserable complaining is making people around you suffer. There is no individual despite what some leaders tell you that will make all this better by doing away with regulations or cutting taxes for the rich . We are all in this together so why would you hate a man who has spent a lifetime of study trying to understand something as dismal economic s.
