Krugman buys the supercommittee charade

Bombs, Bridges and Jobs - NYTimes.com: "What’s bringing out the military big spenders is the approaching deadline for the so-called supercommittee to agree on a plan for deficit reduction. If no agreement is reached, this failure is supposed to trigger cuts in the defense budget."

Or else he just wants to prove how dunderheaded we are about what constitutes actual evil in the world. That would be big military spending which is lethality by conscious and implicit intent. The Supercommittee will fail and the result will not be the massive cuts triggered to go into effect. The result will be that that will be voted down. The cuts will only come if the people wake up and build a new world based on moral principles that assume that human beings are responsible for both good and evil.
