Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman gets it right again. December 19, 2009, 3:55 pm The insincere center Matthew Yglesias makes a good point: The health care bill represents a return, after fifteen years, of the idea that congress should be trying to pass major legislation that tackles major national problems.
