<<<Thankfully Obama did NOT listen to Krugman.>>>

Obama is a politician. He is pragmatic. He has more on his mind than just economics.

I am not so sure that Obama does not listen to Krugman. I know they have met and had dinner together. I am also not sure that Krugman has been wrong.

I think the difference between Obama and Krugman is between what is politically viable and what is theoretically possible. I don't think there is much difference in substance. I think the difference may only be a few hundred billion dollars <g>.
