Krugman Over the Top (John Goodman's Health Policy Blog)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:09:06 GMT

My Monday Health Alert seemed almost unremarkable. (How much more is there to say about Census numbers on the uninsured') Yet it provoked quite a stir, including this editorial from Paul Krugman in today's New York Times. At my blog I wrote that millions of those without health insurance could become insured if the need arose. [...]

by tin man and rdan Paul Krugman said some thing in the NYT. We wondered about these questions too. What was the mechanism for the leveling of healthcare costs in the Clinton ‘90s? (If they did actually level') What was the mechanism for the same to skyrocket as they have in the past 8 years.(What was the rate of increase in “healthcare” costs from 2000-2008?)

Paul Krugman, Aug. 4 : Post-partisan depression Obama’s big economy speech , last week: Back in the 1990s, your incomes grew by $6,000, and over the last several years, they’ve actually fallen by nearly $1,000. “Back in the 90s'” Why not, “When a Democrat was president'” “Over the last several years'” Why not, “under Bush?” A prominent Democratic Hillary supporter once told me that Obama...

The savings “delusion” and capital gains (The Visible Hand)

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:22:39 GMT

Over at the Paul Krugman blog Dr Krugman criticises “conservatives” for treating capital gains as savings. This criticism followed an article by Tyler Cowan stating that people have treated capital gains as savings (article is found here). Now pinch me if I’m wrong, but I can’t see the issue with People assuming that other people treat capital [...]

Accentuate the negative (Undeniable Liberalism)

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:01:00 GMT

Paul Krugman's advice to Senators Obama and Biden: Attack! Attack! Attack! Fuck this 'nice guy' stuff. Broadcast the truth about McMansions: that he's one of the haves, a gigolo with a sugar-daddy wife, a private lake, a private jet, $600 shoes, 12 homes, and a nine-car motorcade to take him to get a cup of coffee. Because he never had coffee while he was being whipped by gay sadists...

Why is British food so terrible? (Tim Worstall)

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 08:54:06 GMT

Michelle Hanson and Jamie Oliver rather want to know. The best explanation I’ve ever come across was Paul Krugman’s: Maybe the first question is how English cooking got to be so bad in the first place. A good guess is that the country’s early industrialization and urbanization was the culprit. Millions of people moved [...]

But it wasn’t just “people”: the assertion that all’s well thanks to capital gains has been a staple argument of conservative economic commentators, notably David Malpass; in fact, it’s an...

Accentuate the Negative (Alternate Brain)

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:35:00 GMT

Paul Krugman In an ideal world, politicians would be judged by their actions, not by their wealth or lack thereof. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born to wealth, but that didn’t stop him from doing more for working Americans than any president before or since. Conversely, Joseph Biden’s hardscrabble life story, though inspiring, didn’t stop him from supporting the odious 2005 bankruptcy...

Malpass Didn't Just Wreck Bear Stearns (Stefan Karlsson's blog)

Paul Krugman correctly points out that the illusion by many American households that capital gains should be treated as equivalent to savings wasn't as he puts it,"a delusion of the great unwashed", it was a doctrine promoted by the pro-Republican supply-side cheerleaders of the housing bubble. Most notable among these were David Malpass, known as chief economist at Bear Stearns, who...

It turns out that the rest of the political world has caught up to me and Paul Krugman : The central fact of this year's election is that voters are fed up with Republican rule. The only way Mr. McCain can win the presidential race is if it becomes a contest of personalities rather than parties . . . The Obama campaign, on the other hand, doesn't need to convince voters either that he's...
