I know people complain about epistemic closure (living in the bubble) on the right, but I often wonder if there is a similar but opposite phenomenon on the left. Basically, if Obama and/or his people were to read this piece would they instantly discount it as valid because it is "left-wing"? My feeling is that they do. Just think: despite being correct always and forever Paul Krugman's ideas are not even brought up by the president...not even as a what if, as in what we should be doing if congress wasn't dysfunctional.
