Your finely tuned conservative mind at work

From Paul Krugman, NY Times economic columnists, MIT economist

Calculated Risk, in a discussion of home price declines, links to my three-year-old analysis, That Hissing Sound, which I think was one of the best pure-economic pieces I’ve done in my tenure at the Times. [in which Krugman accurately predicts the Mortgage bubble and crash]

Of course, everything is political — so if you google the article, high on the list you find this delightful screed from [conservative 'think tank' qua blog] Powerline, which says that I was just looking for something to complain about amidst the Bush Boom, and concludes:

[T]here is little reason to fear a catastrophic collapse in home prices.
Krugman will have to come up with something much better, I think, to cause many others to share his pessimism.


Memories, memories.
