Why is the United States diving deeper into the quagmire of Iraq? What was going on in the minds of the major players creating a false sense of panic around WMD? Jim Lobe has an interesting thought on the subject: they want to get the United States in such a bad budgetary situation, there will be no choice but to make major cuts to social spending.
[Paul] Krugman, like the Financial Times, argues that the administration ideologues are deliberately creating a fiscal crisis in order to achieve their goal of dismantling a social and economic system that ensured domestic tranquility since the New Deal. "The people now running America aren't conservatives: they're radicals," wrote Krugman. "How can this be happening? Most people, even most liberals, are complacent. They don't realize how dire the fiscal outlook really is, and they don't read what the ideologues write."
