He's a pragmatist that's rightly being driven nuts by the administration's economic policies. They have a fucking petro lobbyist with no scientific background editing (and taming down) a report on the environment.

When you want to classify computer programmers as "them" in the "us or them" argument, you need to think about what kind of lifestyle "regular folks" aspire too.

Krugman is a joke. You need to be a partisan hack to read him, and then read the critiques of his 'work', and still believe he has credibility...
