    I think some freedom-loving liberal censored my previous posts with the "report abuse" button, or it was a civil-libertarian editor who did not like my suggestions. Freedom of the press? Not in Newsweek. Decodam, FYI, we Christians and our siblings the Moslems are also Abraham-anians. Duh.

    SCHIP was not about 12-year olds. The family already qualified under current regs. He doesn't mention that it would take 22M new smokers to fund the expansion and that in 2013 that in order to make the cost only equal 35B more, 60+% of the covered individuals would have to be off the program. So much for economic facts from an economist.

    I also like when he says Gore would have been powerless to do anything else. So much for that big wave of liberalism/progrosiveness. Paul likes to bash and point blame on politicians. Did it ever occur to him that maybe that's just what the country wants, regardless if Bush or Gore were president? Of course not. Mr. Krugman never visits "fly-over" country.

    Mr. Krugman is the 60's hippie who wants to give the world a coke and teach it how to sing.. but doesn't feel the need to figure out who's gonna pay for the coke (the gov't) or how it is going to be distributed. He wants to do it because it sounds like such a good idea. And after all, who's going to be against givin the world a coke because it's sounds like such a cool idea. Grow up Paul.

      The government does not pay for anything. We the people do. The government does not have any money of its own - it extorts it from us. Liberal is another word for robber and extortionist. Both Dems and Republicans are liberals in this regard.

    Decodam, Son of Abraham, please don't forget that Moslems and Christians are also Sons of Abraham, or at least disciples of him as prophet.

    LIberals are anti-Jewish. I tried to post a comment concerning Jews. and it was not post ed.

    America is also dividing along religious lines. To avoid bias in this area, let us ban the hiring of any new Jewish media professionals until their number is reduced to 3-6% of the US population, consistent with the religious mix of America.

    please foreward following commentary to paul krugman a so-called liiberal whatever that means in american politics. congratulations on your article in the bangkok post of yesterday. as a son of abraham i am appalled by the neo american fundamentalist mentality of some israelites who claim to be protecting israel from itself. these american reactionaries like podhoretz and teller and of course kissinger who have forgotten their anti-idolatry roots and abrahamic origins and the extremist fundamentalist neo-fascist youth lobby in washington calling itself zionist are indeed a pox on the body politic in the american scene. you have got it right when you dub these idiots as psychotic. in fact they worship themselves and have trasnsformed themselves into molochs who love to hear the cow bells ringing in all the stock markets of the wortld. they are indeed the minions of the multi-national corporations and military industrial complexes of the world. the torah does indeed warn us in the prayer liturgy to beware of the self-hating jew who is worse than any self righteous ameleik who is out to destroy the people of the book. they should listen to queen ester who whispered into the ear of ahasshverus get rid of haman he wants to destroy my israelite tribe. these are the yigal amirs who would assassinate anybody and everybody. of course there was that american self-righteous doctor in the tomb of abraham who massacred over 20 muslims in the name of hashem. just a little history about the reebe yosl schneersohn who was brought to america in 1940 by chabad and roosevelt who agreed to keep the jews quiet by rescuing our pope from the jaws of the nazis. the exceptional rebbe menachem schneersohn accused his brother in law of a hillul hashem when he declared psychotically that the jews caused the holocaust and that adolph hitler was a divine messenger of retribution because the jews did not observe the torah. we have plenty of nut-cases among us. rabin tragically and chaim alosoroff in the 1930's are the victims of that type of predator human being some of which alas have jewish mothers. dr adam rosenblatt

    Paul Krugman has it correct. The Democrats and Republicans who stand up to this administration know that the American People - mainly the middle class and poor are supporting the rich, the war and everything else. I think he is speaking out for so many of us who are tired of this one sided and prejudice (not necessarily color or race but against anyone not in their immediate circle) administration. They display so much greed, selfishness, cruelty, dishonesty at its worst, and anything but a Christian. I wonder what God would say about him. I too will be so glad when it ends. Thank you Paul for speaking out for the majority who are not being heard anymore than they were in New Orleans. This should have been an eye opener for those who still support him and his lies. Reversing the tax cuts for the rich, ending this war of his choice would take care of a lot of things like health care and social security that he has spent and probably pay China and the Saudis back so we do not have to bow so low. Do you Mr. Mark butter ever read or pay attention to the difference in what is said and what is done in this administration. Have you not read the book about Hitler??
