Krugman

One fella whose opinion I respect is Nobel laureate, Paul Krugman. When there's something of consequence happening in the U.S., I rush to read his column. Today, I was not disappointed. I was amused to hear Republicans complaining about the need for this and that and Obama (as his usual cerebral self) quietly noting that this and that are in the proposed healthcare bill. Anyway, the health reform discussion was an interesting diversion from watching the Olympics for hours (and hours). P.S. What's sad (but not surprising), is the recent hike in health insurance premiums. A few years from now, health insurers can claim: We haven't raised our rates since early 2010.
