[Clive Crook's blog] FT.com | Clive Crook's blog | The Atlantic/Aspen Institute/Newseum ...: Clive Crook I have been the FT's Washington columnist since April 2007. I moved from Britain to the US in 2005 to write for the Atlantic Monthly and the National Journal after 20 years working at the Economist, most recently as deputy editor.

[Clive Crook] Obama's Economic Patriot Act - Clive Crook: They questioned whether it was necessary to provide incentives for employers to provide health insurance since Mr Obama’s healthcare plan would already mandate them to do so. Finally, Mr Obama has already tied up the estimated $10bn (€6.8bn, £5.1bn) in revenues that would be saved from abolishing tax incentives for multinational companies that retain their profits overseas.

[Clive Crook's blog] FT.com | Clive Crook's blog | Oil shock: I moved from Britain to the US in 2005 to write for the Atlantic Monthly and the National Journal after 20 years working at the Economist, most recently as deputy editor. I write mainly about the intersection of politics and economics.

[Clive Crook] Column: Coping with the subprime crisis - Clive Crook: I read this piece at FT.com, and thought of writing you again praising your analysis, but did not thinking that I was becoming a "commentator's pet." And to tell you the truth, I was actually relieved when you once suggested that Obama could be the next Tony Blair: finally I could disagree with you--vehemently. Nonetheless, a week later Obama began talking about trade, and your comments went into another direction.

[Clive Crook's blog] FT.com | Clive Crook's blog | Can Democrats own prosperity?: Reagan’s narrative was supply-side: He would reignite stagnating productivity by reducing tax rates, deregulating, and shrinking a bloated public sector. Bill Clinton preached fiscal responsibility and globalization, a program that succeeded economically but lacked staying power politically, partly because Al Gore seemed to repudiate it.

[Clive Crook] McCain's worst day - Clive Crook: So no easy choice for McCain - though a dumb choice initially to go back to Washington to begin with, not seeing he'd get blindsided by a Democrat proposal - instead he stays mum and waits to see what happens...either hoping he can corral Republican support for the proposal that is now in tatters, or put forth "the solution" with the house republicans and hope that democrats accept it and vindicate McCain.

[Watts Up With That?] Atlantic Tropical Update - Hurricane Bill affecting Bermuda ...: If Bill’s path were to follow the westernmost edge of the TPC’s current (0900 UTC) probability cone, it would make first landfall on Cape Cod, after traveling over open water significantly warmer (warm phase of the AMO) and would almost certainly bring hurricane conditions to the Twin Forks (hurricane-force winds should extend at least a hundred miles to the west of the center).

[Clive Crook] Dismal science, revisited - Clive Crook: I think the point is that Krugman knows the Buy American provision is very bad economics, but instead of coming out and saying so he claimed there's "a case" for it and equivocated. Then he tried to point to his equivocation as evidence that he didn't support Buy American - but refusing to call out something that is obviously bad economics is tantamount to supporting it because the left can then say "Krugman thinks there's a case for Buy American".
