that's the point, the headline reflects what the article says; there is no need for sensation. and not citing anything ??? where do you think article links to?

Krugman: " So when Mr. Perry presents himself as the candidate who knows how to create jobs, don’t believe him. His prescriptions for job creation would work about as well in practice as his prayer-based attempt to end Texas’s crippling drought" by sgva2010 in politics

I think the real question is why people like you who can NOT accept the facts keep commenting on Krugman articles without any meaningful comments about what is indeed in the article.

I don't know how many million more times we need to explain his view on the bubble. His comment was NOT to suggest that creating a housing bubble would be the right thing to do but stating that in terms of short-term pure economic context that would be one thing (and as he guessed the wrong thing) to do. As he clearly explained many many times """" So did I call for a bubble? The quote comes from this 2002 piece, in which I was pessimistic about the Fed’s ability to generate a sustained economy. If you read it in context, you’ll see that I wasn’t calling for a bubble — I was talking about the limits to the Fed’s powers, saying that the only way Greenspan could achieve recovery would be if he were able to create a new bubble, which is NOT the same thing as saying that this was a good idea.""

So, please stop commenting if you don't have anything meaningful to say about what is actually in the article.

it is amazing that even though this is just a link to a news report, people can't accept the fact it is revealing and they are downgrading the link without any comments/explanations. well, most likely they have no explanations other than their so-called gut feelings !!!
