Krugman On Boehner's Resignation

Click here for another spot-on article by Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman in The New York times entitled "The Blackmail Caucus, a.k.a. the Republican Party."

The article starts off:

John Boehner was a terrible, very bad, no good speaker of the House. Under his leadership, Republicans pursued an unprecedented strategy of scorched-earth obstructionism, which did immense damage to the economy and undermined America’s credibility around the world.

Still, things could have been worse. And under his successor they almost surely will be worse.
