<<Krugman is wrong........all the economists were wrong. No one realized how badly Americans messed up their personal finances. Me included..........I should never have gone back to school when I did. I saddled myself with debt from student loans and I can't get a teaching job. I didn't spend like crazy but the result is the same. I have to watch every penny.

That is a strong statement and I believe most economic academics do not share it.

I met a girl the other day that just moved to HI. her husband quit his special ed teaching job in FL to go into the construction bus. during the boom. When it collapsed and he tried to get back into teaching he couldn't get a job in FL, NC bunch of other places...finally had to move all the way to Hawaii. The cost of living is pretty high here and she is marginally employed. They are struggling....
