In The NYT, Paul Krugman derides inflation hawks:
For at least three years, right-wing economists, pundits and politicians have been warning that runaway inflation is just around the corner, and they keep being wrong.

At this point, inflation is once again running a bit below the Fed’s self-declared target of 2 percent.At Fiscal Times, Bruce Bartlett suggests earmarks are less important than some conservatives suggest.
