<<< Krugman is in a tiny minority and that DOES NOT include the Obama administration. >>> Krugman is not the issue and he should not be the issue. The issue is how much money do we have to spend to get out of this mess that was created by people. If you don't want to name names, that is fine. What has to be resolved is how much do we have to spend and what do we spend it on. The amount we have to spend is large. A trillion here or a trillion there does not make that much difference if we can spend the money as if we were investing in the future and that there is a return on that investment. That means if we have a healthier economy our debt levels can go down. If we have a lousy economy, we will have to borrow money just to stay alive. Believe it or not how we spend money will make a big, big difference. Giving people a chance to build industries of the future can make a difference. Making our health care system more efficient can be a game changer. Helping our kids to become better educated can't hurt.
