  • Preview from Europe: Banks Up on Expectation of Goldman Earnings [View article]

They don't need to get any more creative than a phone call to Tim Geitner. Perhaps those bankers think that if they renegotiate that mortgage, in 20 years, it still won't be back to where it was in 2005-6.

    Krugman is a nobel prize winning cheerleader with socialist preferences, a perfect shill for the policies of Gordon Brown and Barack Obama.
