Punto de Vista Economico 
Paul Krugman […] told me that the only option left open now is “more massive deficit spending.”
What about the fear that we are headed toward default European style?
“Not a chance,” he replied. “We’re years away.” He pointed out that Treasury bonds are still rising, so there’s no worry. (10 year bond yield is under 2%!)
I pointed to numerous examples of developed countries (Canada, Sweden, New Zealand) that had cut spending and reduced their deficits, and their economies flourished. “Not relevant!” he exclaimed. “None of these countries were suffering from a severe recession.”
Would he favor a cut in the corporate tax rate, as advocated even by Democrats? “No,” he said emphatically. In fact, he supports a tax increase on wealthy Americans, up to 50% without loopholes.
Sadly, these are the kind of economists who President Obama is listening to. Can we afford another four years of tax and spend? It’s scary.
