Fisking Krugman

Is Paul Krugman the best the NYTimes can do with economists? Krugman has practically become Donald Luskin's punching bag. Today, we see Luskin tearing apart Krugman on his asinine Social Security articles. It's sad really. A key comment:

"Because the Social Security system is fundamentally insolvent over the long term, and gets worse every year, raising taxes only helps for a short time."

That's precisely why Bush's proposal is necessary. Democrats should propose solutions, rather than simply ignoring the problem and "owning" Social Security as an issue.
