I didn't say there was anything wrong with partisanship. I don't object at all to him writing that article or the Times publishing it. But that's not why I come here. I come here for hacker news. I understand it's a bit of a broad topic -- but this is way off the mark. Oh well, I guess I'll stop coming if that's the way this site is going. I'm sure you won't feel any sense of loss. But I think something was lost -- a site where we could set aside these kinds of things and focus on the details objectively, or perhaps some personalities and interests that are more related to hackers and technology. Perhaps Krugman has done some great research, etc (I don't really know). But this wasn't a link to his research or some summary thereof. This was just a run-of-the-mill political op-ed with no real economic analysis to it. No thanks.
