Paul Krugman Advised Fed To Create A Housing Bubble In 2002

If he did, it was stupid advice! Hardly credible given Bush at the helm.. And very very doctrinaire to a fault, so I will reserve judgment!

Economies almost toppled by Excel error in Reinhart-Rogoff paper | Opinion | The Seattle Times

Rubbish in rubbish out, and rubbish along the way!

Krugman has his moment, but nothing challenges the Fed policy of self sustained cronyism and subsidies for the filthy rich!

Poor marks all round, I'd say!

The consequences of dodgy data in economic analysis

Oops! Another analytical mistake by misguided enthusiats to muddy the waters of economic thought!

Takes an awful lot to get economics correct. It is after all an art not an exact science, as some would have you believe. good economics somewhat like gardening! Knowing what will grow where, when, and why is part of the analytical process.

Don't you love this bantering between right and left wing economists, as if either side really knew! Rogoff and Rheinhart's analysis is neither fully wrong nor right, but it was incomplete and someon found mathematical issues, which is not surprising in a social art. So now a better image of what to do can be had? NOT!

Attack ads on Justin Trudeau a huge success, Conservative party strategist says

Money wasted by the conservative attack machine! Why not just tell the truth that the conservative leader is losing support because of arbitrary leadership that Canadans don't feel they want to tolerate much longer? Best to be honest and do an about face on stupid policies that have damaged Canada's internation image of good sense and made it seem like that of an ill informed yesteryear American wild west side show!

Canada can do better than Mr Harper and cronies!

Justin Trudeau in His Father’s Footsteps, Only More Uphill - NYTimes.com

What's important is that he has absorbed much of his dad's attitudes on the role of Canadians in the world and the importance of respecting the many honest contributions from Quebec in strengthening Canada's value systems!

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
