4. I've been reading Krugman ever since he started writing for the NYT.

In my experience, he has been right about everything. Sometimes I would read his column and go away hoping he was wrong. But then, once again, he would turn out to be right on target.

I heart Paul Krugman but I also fear and tremble when he writes, because I know he knows what is up with the state of our economy, and more ominously, the state of mind of clueless Americans who can't think themselves out of the proverbial paper bag.
