if you missed Allan Hubbard on Wash. Journal it's quite alright because

[donsu]

he mostly used Rove's talking points which we have already heard 2 thousand times.

but he did say this: that not too much "excess profiteering" was going on.

does he mean that some profiteering is OK? that it's only "excess" profiteering that is too much? who decides what is excess - the Natl. Economic Council which Allan is part of?

he totally refused to comment on Brown.

and he said america's economic growth was the greatest in the world. is that true?

1. It's The Wrong Question...Economic Growth Is Bogus Metric

to measure the well-being of the entire citizenry...look at the growth in poverty during Bush's tenure...look at stagnant wages...look at economic insecurity and fear of losing your job if you have one...look at fear of health emergencies because we, unlike other societies, don't have health care...

It's the phony metric that is described in "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" and he tells why it's bogus...
