This is bullshit, and Krugman has become nothing more than a hack for the Democrat party.
Small government conservatives (and the sane libertarians) aren't opposed to all government spending. They are opposed to welfare spending that takes away from legitimate government activities such as building roads and other infrastructure.
Also, regarding electricity blackouts, it's the liberals who are causing this with their opposition to nuclear power and their draconian environmental rules.
