Reply #75: Not even close. Krugman is saying what Obama already knows. [View All]

[TexasObserver]

There's nothing unique about what Krugman is saying. He knows we need a much larger stimulus package, but he doesn't have to get the measures passed through congress, and Obama does.

EVERYONE knows that the Obama administration is planning on doing this in phases, and that the reason is political. They cannot get all measures passed in one bill. That's why we will see multiple packages in the range of $750 billion.

All Krugman is proving is that it is much easier to be a critic than get things done. He's fulfilling his role, but don't be confused. If he were the Secretary of the Treasury, he would be saying the same things Obama is.

The comparison you make is simply not valid, by any stretch of the imagination.
