i dunno, shakran---i watched kramer a couple times over the past 10 days or so. i don't know why exactly--but nonetheless that there were myriad problems with much of what he was saying seemed to be self-evident. maybe there's a demographic whose sensibilities are mirrored by that guy. part of me would prefer to think he's not really talking to anyone, but i know it's not the case. but if you watch cnbc, the dominant viewpoint is hysterical--the one note has been "obama is trying to destroy all wealth! this is class war!"
there is something self-evidently fucked up about that.
i don't think you need economics training to see it.
but that's just my viewpoint.
