The New York Times's Nobel laureate columnist, Paul Krugman, joins the ranks of those on the left (Hertzberg, Meacham) blaming voter ignorance for America's problems: "Nassau County shows how easily responsible government can collapse in this country, now that one of our major parties believes in budget magic. All it takes is disgruntled voters who don't know what's at stake — and we have plenty of those."
I think the voters are quite aware of what is at stake.
