The NYT commentator "Socrates - Downtown Verona" responded to Paul Krugman's 20 Jan 2013 article "Obama's Big Deal" (http://www.nytimes.com/...) with an adroitness that is memorable and that stands on its own merits.

It is my intention to reproduce Socrates' comment here, so that it may be seen by others and not forgotten (after the fold):

A double whammy for deficit whiners, House Speaker included.

1. The BLS just today released a consumer price index flash (http://www.bls.gov/...): CPI is down 0.3%. Conclusion is that inflation is not out of control at the moment.

2. Dr. Paul Krugman's article today (http://www.nytimes.com/...), 14 Dec 2012, once again slamming the Deficit Scolds for a totally contrived debt crisis.

My first diary ever with dkos, and it's an honor. I hope it is helpful.

I have been following the Israel Palestine issue ever since college, when my room mate and best friend was an Israeli who had lived abroad for years.

I have, to this date, not heard a lucid, coherent explanation as to why, in the "big picture," it is a bad idea to allow Palestine its international statehood recognition. If somebody has such an explanation, I hope to hear it someday, maybe even as a response to this diary.

I am particularly impressed by this electoral map, appearing 30 Nov in the French daily lemonde.fr.

Please join me below the fold, to provide your comments. As I stated, I am particularly interested in views that are contrary to mine, i.e., "why should Palestine NOT receive statehood recognition?"
