In bold, is the portion that is important from the original post:

We weren’t supposed to worry our pretty little heads about this, because we were supposed to take it as a given that these were people we could trust not to abuse their power.

This is the real lesson of the bush presidency. They EXPECTED us to trust them implicity. I suppose it was because they were "christians." Who knows? Maybe we were to trust him because he was the "president." We now know that these people should have never been trusted at all. In fact they are the worst criminals in American history. We should have known better because they stole the Fricking election!

Krugmann's conclusion is his opinion: it could have been worse....but WE know it's hard to imagine worse.
