42. he's an economist, not a politician

and i think his analysis is spot on. he is saying the stimulus package isn't enough to deal with the economic crisis, and believe him. obviously, he thinks the stimulus should be larger, and if the goal is the effectively deal with the crisis, i don't think his ideas should be dismissed as politically unfeasible because of the yammering of the rw noise machine and the futile obstructionism of the irrelevant party.

but now you say....

there is no way to talk about economics without talking about politics given the nature of our economic system. whatever point your trying to make is irrelevant given that fact. if you are attempting to prove that krugman is biased, i think you also failed to prove that point as well.



So let's talk about politics. How does Mr. Krugman propose to get the 60 votes needed to pass an additional 1 trillion dollar stimulus spending that he so believes is the only thing that can save the nation?

It's one thing to want...it is another thing to get.

What is Krugman doing in his power in the realm of "to get".....that's what I want to know?
