A reasonable Krugman verdict on the economy

Keynes Was Right - NYTimes.com:

"The bottom line is that 2011 was a year in which our political elite obsessed over short-term deficits that aren’t actually a problem and, in the process, made the real problem — a depressed economy and mass unemployment — worse.

The good news, such as it is, is that President Obama has finally gone back to fighting against premature austerity — and he seems to be winning the political battle. And one of these years we might actually end up taking Keynes’s advice, which is every bit as valid now as it was 75 years ago."

If Krugman would deal with the problem of the continuing commitment to a car and oil economy he might make sense more often.
