The Krugman Speaks

..for a good long time, and says a lot of great stuff.



I guess a coupla main points for me are these:

  • We have to stop allowing ourselves to be made to believe that Democracy and Capitalism are interchangeable terms.
  • We have to understand just how close we're coming to letting the Bain-type Vultures pull off a corporate takeover of our government. (Don't think so?  Think about the assets owned by the USA, and then try not to think about that fat and juicy Pension Fund we've got, just layin' there ready for some smart buzzards to swoop in and pick it clean.  What's happening now - what's been happening for 25 years - is classic Bain Capital / Henry Kravitz leveraged buyout bullshit.)
