Geithner reacts to Krugman

The difference this illuminates is that Krugman can explain his position, and Geithner either can not or will not. Instead, he contradicts Krugman, backs his statement with nothing, lays down a false dichotomy, tells us how "complicated" it all is (let me guess: so complicated that he would be wasting his time trying to explain it to us), and then launches into his talking points. Clap, clap.
