I have a great deal of respect for Paul Krugman, and have read him for a long time, since before 2000 when he was criticizing the Bush tax cuts as deceptive and "slicing the salami" favorably to sell his tax cuts. I will continue to do so. But Paul Krugman wrote an opinion piece called "Pass the Bill" on why the Senate bill needs to be passed, which I strongly disagree with. I am writing my first diary to register my opposition and answer as to why the Senate bill must not pass.
