Wish upon a czar

I totaly agree with you, so far, Krugman has been the only one to explain "clearly" how we can deal with this recession.You may not agree with him but at least, he knows what he's talking about opposed to Geitner or Summers.Each time you hear them, it's seem to me that they really dont have a long term view in how we can recover from this deep recesssion.
Why not publishing a website for those who think he could be a top ecomic adviser and see what's the public reaction ?   thks Ameth

 What we've got so far from Obama is the Harvard Law Review thing all over again.  Reach out to the right, reach out to the left.  Try to make nice. Sorry, but I don't wanna make nice with the assholes who got us into this mess.  We need real change that we can believe in.  Now. We need Krugman and others in the adminstration who are going to foment revolution.  That's right.  Revolution.  What's it going to consist of: - A fair tax code in which the rich pay their fair share.  Corporations too.  They don't like it?  Tell them to move to China or Brazil.
- Health care in which everyone gets treated, and we don't pay radiologists $1 million a year to read films.- A world class public transit system, including bullet trains taking people and goods all over the country.- An education system where we pay our teachers $100K+ a year and then watch them turn out a string of high performers.- A military that is really run by civilians, and is told to get in shape on a budget that is 30% of the current bloated one. If Krugman can be part of that team that does this, I'm all for it.  I'll miss his columns at the Times, but what the heck.

 I have tried to e-mail you to congratulate you on this article.  I have been confounded for some time now that Paul Krugman who has all the attributes you note is not even part of a presidential advisory group. What gives with that?
   I've noted that the adminstration sometimes changes their tune on economic policy, and the change reflects stuff that Krugman has recently written in his column. So I think he is read and he is respected by the White House folks. (afterthought--can they worry he'll outshine them?)     If president Obama can reach across the aisle to unlikely and unwilling bedfellows, what stands in the way of his inclusion of Mr. Krugman, our country's current Nobel Prize winner, in some capacity in the administration?  'Tis a puzzle.     One of the reasons I rely on his column as a guide through all of this economic turmoil is that he is a person who has a clear moral compass, and values nearly all of us share.

Thanks for the article. I've long thought that Paul Krugman would be the ideal person to be in charge of rehabilitating our economy. Surely President Obama is aware of Mr. Krugman's formidable talents? Let's hope he sees the light and drafts this Nobel Prize winner into public service.

 It is clear to this American the fact Krugman was passed over to begin with and scum bag Geitner, former President of the NY Federal Reserve was selected, Obama is part of the problem.  But of course all you Obama Cultists even now can't see the forest for the trees.
