When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

Krugman: ... It's very hard to understand. Understandably, there are a very small number of people who sit down and do the accounting, and say, 'Gee, how are we going to pay for Social Security in the next decade, given this?' It's not quantum mechanics; it's not hard stuff, but it does take some attention....the idea of saying, 'My god, these guys are looting the country' -– that's uncool.
