Reply #22: I was afraid this is what he would say

I've been really disappointed with Krugman's stance on HCR. I wouldn't sit next to him at Passover if he begged me and if he tries to make up by getting me a chocolate Easter bunny, I won't eat it until the next day:) He knows Economics but I know insurance.

Nonetheless, it's a spat. Mr. Krugman is brilliant (which I never was or will be) and I was waiting for him to speak out on this. I thought there was a chance that although Krugman has been writing about this for a year, perhaps I misunderstood the details & it wasn't as bad as I thought.

There's some irony here that Krugman is denouncing the same type of gimmicky political half-assed measure on the President's Economic Policy that many of us have been denouncing on the gimmicky political HCR. Still, it seems plain that this freeze will be a lot more detrimental to the welfare of the country.

I'm beginning to wonder if Rahm is a GOP double-agent. I already know all I need to about Geithner & Summers. Time to stock up on toilet paper while I've still got the funds, I guess. :cry:
