A Little Honesty Is So Refreshing

Paul Krugman in today's Times:

On Saturday, Christina Romer, the future head of the Council of Economic Advisers, and Jared Bernstein, who will be the vice president’s chief economist, released estimates of what the Obama economic plan would accomplish. Their report is reasonable and intellectually honest.

Though Krugman is liberal, so he's inclined to agree with them, he's also a bit sour on the Obama plan, which makes me believe in the report's overall honesty more. After eight years of obfuscation this is a very welcome change.
