"Paul Krugman, president of the Hillary Clinton fan club, writes ..."At In These Times, Joel Bleifuss is described as an "investigative reporter, columnist and editor."
Yet this reporter, columnist, editor equates Krugman with Clinton because between the two inadequate proposals, Krugman considers Clinton's the better and Obama's as a pre-admission of defeat (those are my words, not Krugman's).
Bleifuss goes on to write:
Progressives should reject the convoluted public/private hybrid systems championed by Krugman, Clinton and Obama, and say, “No thanks, we can do better.”My main question about this article (or opinion piece?) is why Bleifuss chooses to bring Krugman in as a champion or proponent of Clinton's proposal and fails to regard him as another media personality (with some excellent credentials in the field) reviewing and commenting on the same public information that Bleifuss writes about?
