The Hostage Economy
Krugman throws a pretty large rebuke at Bush here. I've begun to see other media outlets referring to his op-ed pieces. There is a dearth of liberal writers out there at the moment, and Krugman is one of their best with strong economic credentials. I think his best feature is that he succeeds in succinctly a) debunking the "logic" behind W's plan, b) presenting an alternative for consideration, and c) reminding the public of past Rebuplican economic travestites. It's not easy to accomplish that in a semi-weekly column, but he seems able.
