There's a curious backstory to this article. In its original online version, it referred to 'left economists." Later yesterday, the online version changed to "some economists," only to be superseded in print by the headline you cite. A more accurate headline would read "Economists supporting Hilary Clinton disagree with Sanders' plan," but that, of course, lacks the requisite insidiousness.

Reading the NY Times article, you would think Austen Goolesby and Henry Aaron are "leftists". What "leftist chat room" does Aaron frequent? And what's with Jared Bernstein attacking Jerry Friedman's analysis --- It's one thing to focus on the idea that Sanders' Medicare for All would have rough sledding in Congress (so would ANY proposal to improve Obamacare unless the House flips). It's another to suggest that it's economically unfeasible. Is there an on line petition in support of Jerry's work? -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web LIVE ? Free email based on Microsoft?
