Many Unhappy Returns

I posted quite a bit yesterday, so I'm going to calm down today. I've got some other things pressing anyhow, and there's plenty to read below.

Paul Krugman's column, above, is also worth reading. He exposes the contradiction buried in the "logic" of those who would privatize Social Security: "Any growth projection that would permit the stock returns the privatizers need to make their schemes work would put Social Security solidly in the black." Read the whole column and when you get to that sentence, you'll know that this debate should be over.
