• "Do the math" with Professor Krugman: "Numerical notes on health care reform"

  
  HOWIEINSEATTLE — Authority: 488
  Paul Krugman: A couple of notes to address complaints about the Senate bill from the left and the center. (There’s no use addressing complaints from the right; in general, the safest thing when dealing with crazy people is to avoid eye contact. For people on the left who think this is all a big nothing, consider ...

• Grab Bag — Christmas Version

  
  Where's the Outrage? — Authority: 433
  Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year to all. Some weirdness occurred in Detroit. A Nigerian man claiming to be linked to Al Qaeda tried to set off an incendiary device. It appears the man was subdued by other passengers. The plane had taken off from Amsterdam and landed safely Detroit. Hopefully ...

• Tactics, strategy, and progressives

  
  Corrente — Authority: 620
  I think its very, very important in politics to separate questions of strategy and tactics. Strategy is pursued by organizations "on the ground": the media, academic organizations like think tanks, the blogosphere, activist organizations like Healthcare-NOW, and the public. Tactics is the province of people ...

  Donklephant — Authority: 520
  Paul Krugman offers “ Tidings of Comfort ” in the New York Times: “…Tiny Tim, is sick. And his treatment will cost far more than his parents can pay out of pocket. Fortunately, our story is set in 2014, and the Cratchits have health insurance… reform legislation enacted in 2010 banned insurance ...

  Renewable Energy News Syndicator — Authority: 162
  Earlier this month (Dec. 7, 2009), two Op-Ed columns appeared in the New York Times–one, by Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman, supporting ‘cap and trade’ strategies for reducing carbon emissions, and the other, authored by NASA’s James Hansen (head of the Goddard Space Flight Center) advocating a new ...

• Bobo and Krugman

  
  Marion in Savannah — Authority: 128
  Roger Cohen is off today.  Bobo, in “The Sidney Awards,” tells us to turn off a “Wonderful Life” and read the best essays of the year.  Well, Bobo, I never turn on “A Wonderful Life,” but I may read one or two of the essays.  (For the definitive take on “It’s A Wonderful Life” here’s Scott at ...

• Another Health Care Hurdle

  
  Meanwhile... — Authority: 470
  Amazingly, that 60-vote bloc of Democrats and Independents hung together through a series of cloture votes and the Senate was finally able to pass their version of a health care bill. The final bill only needed 50 votes, but, in a rare Christmas eve sunrise session, the Senate voted for the bill 60-39 . Every ...

• How Liberals Killed the Public Option

  
  Big Government — Authority: 816
  I find it a little ironic that liberals continue to ruthlessly attack Joe Lieberman for killing the public option (and it’s evil twin, the Medicare buy-in) given the central role that liberals themselves played in precipitating it’s demise. Including some of the very same individuals now vilifying him. While ...

• Americans Crazed Corn Habit(ethanol another entitlement, to corn growers)

  
  Stupidica — Authority: 177
  According to a recent Congressional Budget Office report, the increased use of ethanol is responsible for a rise in food prices of approximately 10 to 15 percent. Why? Were turning corn into fuel — a highly inefficient one, at that — instead of food. The Mackinac Center for Public Policy points out that "mixing food ...

• Going Nuclear On The Filibuster?

  
  ChrisWeigant.com — Authority: 422
  These days, it takes 60 votes to do just about anything in the United States Senate. That is a fact that galls many, especially since it is a fairly recent development. While the filibuster (or, the more polite modern version, cloture) has been around for a long time, it simply has not been [...]

• Krugman vs. Hudson on Samuelson

  
  Dollars & Sense blog — Authority: 465
  I was alerted by this post on Naked Capitalism to a back-and-forth between Paul Krugman and Michael Hudson on Paul Samuelson. It started when, on Dec. 14th, the day after Samuelson died, Counterpunch re-published a paper by Michael Hudson from back in 1970, shortly after Samuelson was awarded the ...

  Its my Right to be Left of the Center — Authority: 425
  Its only a minute and a half long so watch it and feel morally superior to the extreme rightwing nutters who are so against health insurance and health care for every human in the US. Because we are morally superior to thost fuckwits.

• New Massachusetts Polling Data: What’s the Lesson?

  
  The Sentinel Effect — Authority: 111
  Paul Krugman doesn’t like the Rasmussen poll on the popularity of health reform in Massachusetts.  I’ve cited that poll in the past, so I have an obligation to present contradictory information.  Besides, when Krugman talks, I listen.  Since many people consider the reform we’re likely to get similar to that ...
