Krugman Attacks The Conservative Effort to Deflect Attention Away From Income Inequality

Paul Krugman responds to the conservative movement to deflect attention from growing income inequality in the US. Conservatives have jumped on the bandwagon of explaining our problems in terms of declining moral values. Charles Murray and David Brooks have led this charge.

We also have a growing education gap in the US. The article posted below describes that gap an offers a critique of the conservative effort to deflect the attention away from income inequality to argue that cultural problems and moral decay are the cause of income income inequality. I was disappointed to see the NYT report the research and to look to conservative propagandists (that is the mission of American Enterprise Institute) for an explanation.
