No, I am seeing reality just fine. And that reality is we can't push back what is eventually going to occur....another depression.

Jobs have not materialized as Obama promised and THAT is the only thing that will get this economy back on it's feet.

If you or I charge all our needs and don't have jobs to pay that bill, we will eventually get to our limit of extended credit. The United States is getting very, very close to that limit and unless we see some jobs, we will come to the end of the road.

If anyone is not looking at reality, it is you! The economists agree with me, not you. Go look it up!

Paul Krugman (Nobel winner) Alan Blinder do not agree with you.

Nobel lost all of it's marginal credibility with the Obama award. It's a political awards show...too bad. it once had some meaning. Krugman is a hack...I'm glad he doesn't agree with me. He got his award for " his analysis of trade patterns and location of economic activity".

While I agree to award to Obama was pre-mature...they didn't lose all credibility in my opinion. As for your editorial comment on Krugman - that's just your opinion. Sometimes, he does make sense.

But, my response was to Maxine's blanket comment about economists agreeing with her.
