Quote of the Day

I do feel a sense of despair here. Ever since the crisis began, some of us have been trying to get across the point that you have to be very careful with your historical precedents, that things work very differently when you have a synchronized severe financial crisis, with interest rates near zero everywhere. And here we are, two years in, and it’s as if we’ve been talking to a wall.

From Krugman, here with proper historical precedent, rational context, and even a graph.

Who doesn't love graphs?
