Finally someone was present on This Week to correct George Will’s misreading of history.  One of the reasons I stopped watching This Week was the presence of Sam Donaldson to pretend he had knowledge of the economy when in fact he was a complete ignoramus.  Cokie Roberts doesn’t add anything to the “mix”.

If it hadn’t been for Huffington Post, I never would have known about this episode of This Week. A comment on Huffington Post led me to Brad DeLong’s posts.

Brad DeLong in his post, Lessons from the Great Depression Blogging, provides some nice backup for Krugman’s position.

In the above DeLong post he has a link to his original post, What a Change! “The Week” Gives Airtime to an Expert, about the Krugman appearance on This Week.
