The sterile cuckoo

Don Luskin

Once again, Paul Krugman promises a something more than just carping. Following 700 words of just carping in today's New York Times column he concludes,

"Over the next few weeks I'll back up these assertions, and talk about what a workable health care reform might look like, if we can get ideology out of the way."

Of course, when he talks about "ideology" that has to be gotten "out of the way," he means any ideas or philosophies that disagree with his ideology. But no matter. Nothing from Krugman will be forthcoming on health care reform, just as nothing has ever come from Krugman's promise in his January 4 Times column about Social Security -- to "suggest steps to strengthen the program."

Krugman is bereft of solutions. Only problems. He, like the Democratic Party he serves, is nothing but a sterile cuckoo.
