Krugman: Mr. Mental Recession

Mr. Mental Recession

Brad DeLong is upset by the illogic of John Taylor and Phil Gramm’s attack on the Fed....But what really boggles my mind is the Romney campaign’s evident belief that it gains credibility by rolling out Phil “Mental Recession” Gramm as a spokesman. Gramm is best known these days for dismissing the risks to the economy when a recession was already underway and a catastrophic crisis was just around the corner, meanwhile denouncing us as a “nation of whiners”. And the Romney people think that putting him out in front makes them more persuasive?

Who is advising Mittwit? I mean, Phil Gramm is the political face of the financial crisis and UBS.

6. Gramm on Bloomberg

Gramm was on Bloomberg TV a week or two ago in the morning. He was questioned about the deductions Mitt would get rid of.
His answer was that of course you're talking about the mortgage interest deduction, the state and local tax exemptions because
that's where the money is. Can anyone find that video?
