"... The Obama plan just doesn’t look adequate to the economy’s need. To be sure, a third of a loaf is better than none. But right now we seem to be facing two major economic gaps: the gap between the economy’s potential and its likely performance, and the gap between Mr. Obama’s stern economic rhetoric and his somewhat disappointing economic plan."
I'm with Paul Krugman and Jamie Galbraith on this. If we nickel and dime the recession, it will become a serious depression in no time. If you ask me, we're more than halfway there already. And the nickels and dimes (like the $350 billion tossed away by the Bush administration) will be gone along with everything else. Need more than Krugman? Read what Galbraith has to say.
And, in the same critical mode, is the new Director of National Intelligence a lying, brutal sumbitch?
