Nobel Prize winning NYTimes economist argues for more gov spending

Paul Krugman is the writer of "The Conscience of a Liberal," so of course he's going to argue for government spending.

Still, in this time of economic crisis, he argues that government spending on infrastructure, unemployment benefits, et al, will have long-term benefits. What do you think?

Chris. I like both of the last two articles that you posted. I think they are important and should be discussed, but I am refusing to post more thoughts until other bloggers acknowledge how good that bob dylan poem is.
