On This Week, Paul Krugman insisted that overregulation wasn't harming small business and preventing them from hiring. He started to say what he thought it was, but the rest of the panel talked him down and changed the subject. Author David Stockman said government was broken and good for nothing. Krugman decided that the economy wasn't so bad because it just meant that people were 'retiring early' (whether they could afford to or not). Everyone else, after discussing how SSI disability claims were up, food stamp payments were up, and the defecit was up, decided that we weren't doing enough stimulus spending and the president was listening to the Republicans too much.
Prior to this, we learned from Greta Van Susteren, who looks like she's scowling even when she smiles, that North Korea was really scary and somebody's uncle knows a coworker's roommate who is third cousin to the guy who polishes shoes for the general staff, and North Korea might have a missile that can reach U.S. soil--though whether that means Los Angeles, or Guam, or merely Okinawa isn't exactly clear. And peace? No talk about peace, though Stockman did mention that the U.S. had never had a recession this long during peacetime. David Sanger owned the show. He mentioned that nothing about U.S. policy has done anything to encourage nations like North Korea to give up their nukes. 'Ghaddafi gave up his nukes and look what happened to him. Hussein never had any and look what happened to him.'
Oh, and Hillary's coming. As George Will dryly noted, she came at us eight years ago, too, and lost to Obama.
