Why Do They Want to Destroy the Country?

Paul Krugman casts a look forward to the spring government shutdown.

The fact is that one of our two great political parties has made it clear that it has no interest in making America governable, unless it’s doing the governing. And that party now controls one house of Congress, which means that the country will not, in fact, be governable without that party’s cooperation — cooperation that won’t be forthcoming.

We must keep asking our people why we give power to folks who are willing to sacrifice the good of the country for their own selfish interest?
