Krugman is wrong again, Warren is bad news, and "The idealized version of what I want is ideal" ... isn't it always so.
The Europe that we are always told about isn't real ... they tax the hell out of the middle class, and their "healthcare for all" is really minimal healthcare for the masses (like 15 people in a "ward" rather than "a room" like in the US) ... oh, and if you have an income of like "$300k+, you can have any healthcare you want ... since you pay for it!
Maybe you think the lessons from Europe are that we should have more generous health-care subsidies and more bicycle paths. Fair enough. But maybe the lesson is that our tax system is too easy on the middle class and that entitlement reform is best undertaken earlier rather than later
