New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, today on Keith Olbermann's Countdown spared no punches in his scathing criticism of the debt deal and the misguided thinking behind it. Despite the silly and stupid comment by Newt Gingrich on the O'Reilly show the other night ("This is a Paul Krugman presidency"), it seems unlikely Krugman will be getting any White House invitations in the near future.
