I agree it's not political, but it's economic and thought that it might be of interest in DC. But the conservatives in DC only have one thing on their mind. |

I guess I missed that claim. The numbers he posted are mostly accurate, although gasoline is now at $3.70, not $3.80

Krugman has refered to “Okun’s Law” too. This really isn't a “law” at all, but just another proposition based upon government-created aggregates.

He doesn't deserve any credit at all for saving us from a second depression. He did nothing gutsy, nor innovative, nor even particularly effective. He did transfer wealth from his political opponents into the pockets of his political supporters though, so there's that.

If he campaigned on needing a stimulus, made it his first priority in office, and played a role in pushing it through Congress, he deserves credit. |

He absolutely did. He's not saying what he's saying for no reason. It's a logically implied assertion.

The price explosion occurred on the tail of the Bush administration. It fell during election season, then promptly rose back up afterwards. I mostly agree. |
