Reagan Did it, or maybe he didn't. The game blame isn't fun. More specifically, you declare but fail to prove the Reagan era was the "turning point". Maybe you could put politics aside. There are other turning points that may be atleast as significant as yout Reagan turning point theoy.
While agreed that buying power in the USA has declined significantly. But look back the last 100 years and try to avoid names, Reagan,Kennedy,etc; you would see that the value of our Dollar in relation to purchasing power has declined by 94%. The solution and problem can be also couched regarding the Federal Reserve Bankinf system than this continual , the guy on the left did it, No the guy on the right did it.
The idea of having a Dollar bill tethered to absolutely nothing but "our good word" is a nightmare.
If we could tie the dollar bill to a gold standard again then we might be more likely to save this crisis.
We dont pay enough attention to this more constant problem of the Federal Reserve and no regulation regarding its printing press and lending out counterfeit Promissory notes.There was so much talk in January of reconciarion between the left and right. But your article only stokes the feud. Please strongly consider the getting rid of the gold standard in backing our money supply as the biggest turning point as a problem and also as a potential solution. The next shoe to drop will be the crash of the greenback. Now if American buying power crumbles during the Obama years , are you going to write an article titled "Obama Did It"?

Costs and Compasion - Nick Laudani response July24 09

Dear Mr.Krugman and all other Matrix dwellers,(regarding Paul Krugman NYT July 2009)
….You argue here limited to an all or nothing solution to Health Care reform.As either universally Matrix like or totally not universally Matrix like.. Please consider, piecemeal, partial, step by step reform. Rather than your overwhelming globalized totalitarian approach. There are sequential Health Care reforms that can be achieved. It doesn’t have to be so fatalistically global and Pandemic.
In your most recent July 2009 NYTimes article you get bogged down in worthless arguments, “Mr. Obama was especially good when he talked about controlling medical costs”. - The problem about talking about medical costs is essentially that talking rather than facts is a problem. Talk is cheap. Or in his case the democratically appointed O.C.B. is that, his talk does not warrant the backing of the OCB. The Office of Congressional Budget oversight will not share the view that costs are especially good.
…..Regarding your heavily weighted comments comparing Bush to Obama is at first childish playing the blame game. At second it is not worth me showing examples of intellectual dishonesty. But most importantly thirdly which I will highlight is that comparing Bush to Obama regarding Health care reform is in year 2009, 2010, and onward is irrelevant. Forget Bush. and even forget Obama. They both play into black and white alternatives (what a great innocent trouble making pun)
Finally, regarding your Matrix reference on Obamas red pill versus blue pill to choose from, I am not sure what the blue pill, or the red pill you stipulate as the correct pill to swallow. Which in itself I find fascinating until recognized as arrogantly insular. As if only two colored pills exists. Wait, aren’t bipartisan politics over?
..Maybe Mr Krugman your problem in your argument boils down to the basic flaw in the movie,"The Matrix".-Which in the end of the movie shows, that no matter how complex, compartmentalized and global ,or (regarding Health Care) Universal, all encompassing global fatalistic, Communistic, Fascist grandiose all encompassing scheme is the fact that there will always be a superfluous fly in the ointment.
Get over your One World, Universal Global Governance. As historically it has always proven to be horrific.(Horrific is understated) There is no one answer. We in the USA attempted to answer to this concept. You would know that if you read the Constitution.
There is no singular Matrix, Mr. Krugman, in the United States of America.
There is no one size fits all in your totalitarian ideology. And Please look at your reference to support your ideology of the World.. If I was to strictly use your reference of "Matrix" as the end all then I must respectfully respond with horror.
There is no Matrix Mr Krugman. Atleast as long as I am alive.
You and your Matrix terrify me.. Forget any suggested accusation by me as you being to Left or too Right. Because either way your Matrix(any Matrix) ultimately slants bends , weaves, and finishes in some kind of Hellish Totalitarian graveyard.
