Krugman on the Catfood Commission.

Update: It’s here. And it really is that bad. The idea that co-chairs of a commission whose charge is fiscal sustainability should take it upon themselves to (a) declare that federal revenue must not exceed 21 percent of GDP -- that’s right, putting a cap on receipts and (b) call for reducing the top rate from 35 to 23 is just awesome.

This is how history will judge Obama. I can't believe he will go there. If so he will really demoralize his base. Hopefully the economy will recover by 2012 and the independents will come back as the Republicans implode. But Boehner seem smarter than Gringrich.
