Krugman on Thatcher
He and Bartlett fail to mention why conservatives love Reagan/Thatcher. They broke the unions. Reagan broke the air traffic controllers signalling an all-out war, Thatcher broke the miners.
DeLong, Krugman, and Ygleisas are bad on the subject of unions and organized labor, a symptom of the weakness of the left which has retreated to the academy and wealthy independent thinkers on the Net.
Dean Baker and Doug Henwood are better. Thoma is in the middle wondering why politicians don't stand up for the working class.
