Probably true but I’d like to see it happen
Paul Krugman has an amusing observation:
I’ve been pointing out that the dictatorial powers Paulson has sought would accrue to the next Treasury secretary, who might well be Phil Gramm. I’ve been trying to come up with a liberal-leaning name who might seem equally horrifying to Republicans, and the only one I’ve come up with is … me.
He’s right of course. Of course comparing Krugman to Gramm is outrageous because one man is an expert in economics who’s largely been spot on in the last 10 years on all sorts of matters, including financial, and the other’s Phil Gramm. And yes I think it would be great if Krugman were Treasury secretary.
Holla at me
