Krugman Talks Economy & Financial Crisis On TYT (Video). Also, A Must-Read Article By Stiglitz.

3. The lack of transparency is troubling.
Hopefully, after Mr. Obama takes office, we will get some more information.

9. The list of things we'll find out will be long.
Insiders will write books and do tv 'exclusives'.

6. Last I heard it was over three trillion. Who even knows at this point?
And they aren't talking.

18. I wish Stiglitz had been the pick for Sec. of Treasury, not that neo-lib Clintonite what's-his-name.
