What do Beck, Krugman, and Wikipedia Have In Common?

Accord­ing to Paul Krug­man, that font of vicious lib­eral lies and dis­torted eco­nomic thought: Repub­li­cans cre­ated the US debt.

“But even when the cri­sis is over, the bud­get will remain deeply in the red, largely as a result of Bush-​​era tax cuts (and Bush-​​era unfunded wars).”

Accord­ing to Wikipedia, the non-​​academic-​​paper-​​worthy source of dis­in­for­ma­tion: Repub­li­cans cre­ated the US debt.

Accord­ing to Glenn Beck, the bas­tion of san­ity in this insane world: Repub­li­cans cre­ated the US debt.

“One party will tax and spend. One party won’t tax and will spend. ”

Wait, what?
