What do you make of the claim

What do you make of the claim that financial regulatory reform will be what will cause him to formulate a more all embracing economic philosophy (if he's ever going to do so)?

Thanks. I should make clear

Thanks.

I should make clear that by "think," I mean "absorb a bunch of advanced policy ideas from the Brookings Institution, etc." Because that's the kind of "thinking" I expect political leaders to do, in the main: evaluating policy ideas rather than building them up from scratch.

Our national problem is that Obama doesn't have any policy briefings like that to read. They simply haven't been formulated yet. We're living through the moment where we've renominated Ben Bernanke and even Krugman agrees with the move -- because even the skeptical outsiders like Krugman haven't formulated an alternate program.

Everybody wants to know why the bubble popped - Doc points out that the real question(s) is how/why the system creates bubbles in the first place. Henceforth the new word for the economy should be: sustainability - now that would Obamanomics.
