Paul Krugman — The Forgotten Millions

Finally, we get to the real issue — unemployment. Thank goodness Paul Krugman is using his bully pulpit to name it. This is the real crisis, not the phony "affordability" excuse.

As Krugman points out, even if you think that government has to borrow to finance itself, which it doesn't because it prints its own money, interest rates are at historical lows and the US is not having any difficulty selling its Treasury securities.
