While like Atrios, I agree with all of what Paul Krugman is saying, I think the real point is that unless and until the Obama administration, Congressional leadership, and media influentials recognize that the only way out of this economic crisis is by empowering people capable of a fundamental reevaluation of how they look at the US and global economies and what factors contributed to putting us in the mess we are today, we cannot expect change. It is for this reason that Geithner, Summers, and Bernanke are absolutely incapable of solving the problems we face, as they still have faith that the people who caused this crisis with self-enriching voodoo economics are capable of charting course out of it. They are not.
