Quote of the day - Compromise

"Compromise, if you must, on the policy—but never on the truth."

- Paul Krugman, "How to End This Depression", The New York Review of Books,

Tim Pawlenty is right about growth but…

his examples of five percent growth are a bit less than five percent, and that growth is paltry compared to other other periods.  For example the 1930's under Franklin Roosevelt when it was around ten percent or better.  See Daniel Gross, "Pawlenty's 5 percent growth solution makes historical sense", Yahoo Finance, 2011-06-14.
