Reply #13: I know little about Rubin... [View All]

...I have his biography on nightstand-list-of-things-to-read, but he has fallen behind Krugman's "The great unraveling" and Landsburg's "Fair Play." But unfortunately, I haven't been in this country for less than 8years so I have to read up on everything that happened here before I gained conscience. And I was under the impression the Clinton administration was doing a good job with popularity around the world and by economists' standards. Although I have to agree that there is some conflict of interest between working in business and being an independent economist, i.e. look how the rw side is now trying to frame Paul Krugman as the insane idiot, once praised now losing his mind.

In other words, I am really interested in this and enjoy reading everybody's comments on this.

And I apologize, I am one of those who claims to have some more knowledge of the monetary field and I still throw out the term Treasury Bond as a lose fit for government issued debt.
