Bubbles: Shopping Carts Lubed by Low Interest Rates
Paul Krugman is always quick to point out the flaws with the republican economy. Read Running Out of Bubbles. Krugman references a few of our favorite sources, and sums up the echo real estate bubble in the NYT — about as mainstream as you can get. That, in and of itself, is an indicator of where we might be in this cycle.
Generally, however, when it comes to Krugman, I caution readers about his political conclusions. I also wouldn’t expect half this analysis if the President’s name weren’t Bush and the letter ‘R’ didn’t identify his party… but that’s a separate subject all together.
