From the "Since you asked..." file.

Dr. DeLong inquires...

It's hard for any veteran of the Clinton Administration to reach any conclusion other than that fixing America's long-run fiscal dilemmas requires first the complete destruction of today's Republican Party, and those of us who care about America's fiscal future need to turn all of our energies to that end. Can you give me reasons not to believe that?

Since you asked, sorry, Doc, I got nothin'.
