    Guess Who's Talking About Death Panels Now?

    Paul Krugman: Scholar or political hack?

    I have somewhat of a problem in making up my mind about Paul Krugman. On one hand, his articles here are very scholarly and interesting (at least the ones I have read). His undressing of prectionists and their motives is brilliant, as is his comparison of protectionists to creationists. His...

    The Deficit Commission's Recommendations for Reducing the Deficit

    Uncompromising Political Positions

    I was just reading the editorial by Paul Krugman (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/24/opinion/24krugman.html) and it reinforces my opinion that both parties are too interested in maintaining control to seriously address any problem. Krugman writes: In the last 10 years, both parties had a large...

    Krugman: Obama Clueless. We're Doomed.

    "I’m with Simon Johnson here: how is it possible, at this late date, for Obama to be this clueless?" http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/10/clueless/ Seems Obama wasn't outraged enough over the Chase/Sachs CEO bonuses in a Business Week interview. Didn't we bail these guys out? Shouldn't...

    Paul Krugman wins Econ Nobel

    NY Times Columnist and Princeton Econ Professor Paul Krugman wins the Nobel prize in Economics Since the Nobel has become politicized in recent years, it's a little hard to tell if it's really because of his scholarly work or because he is a critic of the Bush administration. I like Krugman...

    Unattended Jeopardy

    Or Social Security Not. Of course, what Paul Krugman thinks don't mean elvis to the Bush administration. The question is how is George going to pay the one or two trillion transition cost of setting up individual accounts under a partial privitization of Social Security. By raising the...
