They had a lot of obstacles to overcome, but they managed to get there. There are still more hurdles to get through before President Obama has a bill on his desk to sign, but getting a bill to the floor of the Senate was an impressive feat and an essential step on this path. Paul Krugman: What happened? To be sure, "centrists" in the Senate have ...

Remember When It Was Almost A Nightmare Scenario?
Eschaton —
Krugman: In December 2008 Lawrence Summers, soon to become the administration’s highest-ranking economist, called for decisive action. “Many experts,” he warned, “believe that unemployment could reach 10 percent by the end of next year.” In the face of that prospect, he continued, “doing too little poses a greater threat than doing too much.” Ten months later unemployment reached 10.2 percent, suggesting that despite his warning the administration hadn’t done enough to create jobs. You might have expected, then, a determination to do more. Big ...
