Krugman has one column. To sum it up, we must spend more. I am continually amazed at the number of times he repeats this mantra and gets away with it.

Exactly. As another poster noted a few weeks ago, he is a "one trick pony." He is no longer even convincing many within the Democratic Party. I can see images of most people rolling their eyes and thinking, "there he goes again."

Another thing, I'm not sure it is accurate to label him as an economist. He was once an economist but he is now a political editorial writer. I don't mean that as an insult because there is nothing wrong with being a political writer, but calling him an economist because he once was one is like continually calling Howard Dean a doctor even though he has not been a doctor for many years. At some point the word "former" seems appropriate.
