Krugman is half right, Keynesian economic theory of increasing government spendings during a recession to increase GDP and then cutting government spendings during boom time to pay down the debt works only if our government can cut spendings during boom time. When was the last time you see the government cut anything substantial? Instead, you have Bush cutting taxes and increasing government spending during the good economic period of 2001-2008.

I wonder where we could find fatality record per 100 million miles driven for each vehicle. I remember seeing this type of data online a few years ago and now I couldn’t find it again. I think it would be a much fairer comparison on car safety instead of just personal opinions.

–Update–
I found a good report, check out page 9 which shows fatality risk to drivers and drivers of other vehicles per car model. Note the three Toyota cars shown (Camry, Avalon, and Corolla) have better safety record compare to other vehicles in similar class. On the other hand, 4Runner fatality risk is high. I think probably because of rollerover risk because it is a tall and relatively narrow vehicle.

40% of BP stocks are owned by Americans and American institutions. Less competition will also hurt consumers. I think BP (and Arco) are good because they tend to have lower price that keeps other gas stations from raising prices too high.

[quote=meadandale]I’d like to see Obama and his administration continue to ‘go off’ on BP and villify them. If their stock price continues to dive they’ll end up filing for bankruptcy. When Obama gets stuck with the cleanup bill because he’s driven BP out of business…it should get interesting.[/quote]
