Krugman versus Krugman on deficits and debt -- who can you believe? Government deficits totaling $9 trillion over the next ten years are coming, the Obama administration now projects. (Up from its prior projection of $7 trillion. For perspective, $9 trillion is over 20% more than the entire national debt accumulated from George Washington's inauguration until today: $7.4 trillion). Many commentators are alarmed. Prof Hamilton at Econbrowser illustrates alarm with a nifty chart showing the difference for the worse between now and the last time such debt levels were reached, during World War II, and draws Paul Krugman's attention. Krugman's response: Good God! He's ...

Liberal Hate Speech By John Dietrich When Sarah Palin made Rahm Emanuel's expletive-enhanced use of the word "retarded" an embarrassment for him and the president, she forced the left to live up to its own P.C. standards. Saul Alinsky would be proud. Normally, according to the media elites' rulebook, when liberals rant, it's called free speech; when conservatives rant, it is hate speech. Members of the media elite appear to sincerely believe that liberals are less vitriolic than conservatives, and through repetition they have convinced a large part of the public that this is true. The reason liberals can "rant" without fear of being labeled terrorists is ...

House faces tough vote on $1.9 trillion more debt Email this Story Feb 4, 7:20 AM (ET) By ANDREW TAYLOR WASHINGTON (AP) - Facing a politically excruciating vote, House Democratic leaders are counting on new budget deficit curbs to help smooth the way for a bill allowing the government to go $1.9 trillion deeper into debt over the next year - or about $6,000 more for every U.S. resident. The debt measure set for a House vote Thursday would raise the cap on federal borrowing to $14.3 trillion. That's enough to keep Congress from having to vote again before the November elections on an issue that is feeding a sense among voters that the government is spending too much and putting ...

Moody's Threatens U.S.’s Triple-A--Again Soaring deficits still threaten the U.S.’s Triple-A bond rating, Moody's Investors Service says. The warning was met with surprise, since Moody’s said in December it had no plans to lower the US’s debt rating. At that time Moody’s said the top-notch status was “not under immediate threat,” although it did say the rating could be downgraded in 2013 if the fiscal position does not improve. Moody's has made similar threats to downgrade the U.S. in the past, but the threats are coming more frequently, along with tougher language. Now, Moody’s says the U.S. government needs to cut the budget ...

Mirandize bin Laden? by Jed Babbin 02/03/2010 At the end of a Senate hearing yesterday, Dennis Blair -- Obama’s Director of National Intelligence -- refused to answer a very simple question. Now, the DNI -- like most people who live behind the walls that protect our nation’s secrets -- is not going to answer a lot of questions. But this question was simple, and didn’t require complex decisions on divulging secrets. Blair was asked whether, if we now caught Usama bin Laden, should the terrorist boss be read his “Miranda” rights. And Blair declined to answer. This, at the end of a hearing at which Blair and other Obama anti-terror “experts” stated ...

But this time around that is not the case. The reality is that we are being sucked into an economic black hole from which the U.S. economy will never fully recover. The problem is debt.

He figured she couldn’t make it any worse. After all, how can you fuck up rubble? ...
