I Shaved My Head When Robert Stanfield Died

The Krugman/Limbaugh Nightmare: President Obama Might Succeed


"Nor does Krugman's ideas involve the War In Wherever, a possible

new Health System, the Auto Industry, Unemployment, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc."



Really? Because I got here from this page, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/29/geithnerkrugman-feud-come_n_180477.html where Paul Krugman says, in a roundtable discussion, that the healthcare plan is the key to balancing the budget in the medium term. Further, he talked about the differences between Iraq and Afganistan and the political consequences of withdrawal in either country. And also he talks about the increasing unemployment rate and the 600,000 jobs shed every month for the next few months. He explains how the US debt will not be left unmanageable by the stimulus, etc. etc... So yes, he views economics through the prism of human costs.



You know, though, everyone impugning the motives of someone who has said, quite accurately, that the bank reorganization plan is similar to the Japanese plan, which didn't fail, but didn't really succeed in the way everyone expected, and not that it is a poor plan but that better ones are available for which the president does not appear willing to summon the political will, should probably take a page from the Vice President who consistently mentions what a poor idea it is to question those motives which they cannot divine.
