Christina Romer
I don’t know Ms. Romer personally but I certainly know her work both in and out of the White House. I can only hope that the inconsistency between her work as a truth-seeking academic and as an Obama apologist finally got to her and is, at least in part, one of the reasons she resigned as chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.
It will be very interesting to see how her writings progress from here.

Interesting if somewhat sober article.

According to WSJ, Obama spending on infrastructure in the stimulus plan totals only 66 billion dollars, so far, about as much as France spent in infrastructure stimulus in 2009 alone.
The rest of the spending should not have been called stimulus. Because it was not. No wonder things are falling apart. Romer and her (at best) clownish colleagues are all responsible.

Patrice, to me, sufficiently old to have watched Governments for some decades now, the most striking thing about the present circumstances is the terrible decline in political integrity. See a Post coming out tomorrow!
