Not all happy with Geithner's new (old) bank rescue plan:
It’s as if the president were determined to confirm the growing perception that he and his economic team are out of touch, that their economic vision is clouded by excessively close ties to Wall Street. And by the time Mr. Obama realizes that he needs to change course, his political capital may be gone....Whether or not the administration likes or respects Krugman, a lot of other people do (including the Nobel committee). And his incessant criticism of the administration's economic plans is increasingly disturbing. I'm willing to believe that Krugman is not right about everything. But at this point, are we really to believe that the guy who just won the Nobel prize in economics is wrong about everything?
T]here’s something strange going on here. By my count, this is the third time Obama administration officials have floated a scheme that is essentially a rehash of the Paulson plan, each time adding a new set of bells and whistles and claiming that they’re doing something completely different. This is starting to look obsessive.
