I assume moron is a downgrade from '****...
Anyway, re: the long-term problem, I'm not terribly optimistic that we're going to enact sensible reforms. Based on what I've seen over that past ~8 years I've really been paying attention to our government, I see little reason to believe a grand compromise (entitlement cuts, military cuts, tax increases & tax reform) is achieveable. I really hope I'm wrong.

The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

Re: the 2003 Krugman article, he notes:
unless we slide into Japanese-style deflation, there are much higher interest rates in our future.

Of course he'd probably say the financial situation now (meaning post crash) was very different then during the bubble years. In fact he's been pointing out those differences for years now.
I can think of one difference between 2003 and today that completely explains Krugman's 180 on this issue.KH FOR OWNER!
ASHER FOR CEO!!
GUYNEMER FOR OT MOD!!!
