I've never liked Krugman much but lately he has me wanting to pee on his grave.

John, on Krugman;

On this, as on other issues, the Obama administration needs to free its mind from Wall Street’s thrall.

Dang freaking right! And the bigger the financial risk of the transaction - the higher the tax. Good for Paul! Today i want to hug him.

A worldwide trading transaction tax would be great, but it must be implemented everywhere. It will eliminate most computer trading that's responsible for a lot of the volume, a good part of the volatility and a good part of short term manipulation in financial transactions. Goldman Sachs wouldn't be happy, so I was not surprised that the US is the one that's preventing its implementation.
