Beat The Press

Recent quotes from Dean Baker's blog Beat The Press:

"Is there a public interest in ensuring that incompetent investment bankers can still make millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a year pushing deals that harm the economy?"

"Of course an independent press is supposed to report on what is important regardless of whether it fits the agenda of politicians at the time."

"Using the $53 trillion figure is an effective way to scare people, but not to inform them... If per person health care costs in the United States followed the cost path in Germany, Canada, or any other country with better health outcomes than the United States, then the debt problem would be relatively minor."

"When former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan warns the public that the financial markets will not be set right until the housing bubble has fully deflated, it is worth reminding readers that Mr. Greenspan was a vigorous bubble denier during his tenure as Fed chair."

"...people who are paid 8-figure salaries are supposed to be able to make tough decisions."
