Why I love Krugman: His article today epitomizes why I love Krugman. I couldn't agree more. Its not that I'm not willing to put in the hours, I am more than willing to put in long hours and take work home, and work on weekends, but I feel like that is not sustainable without a decent vacation. And in the US there really seems to be immense difficulty in taking vacation without being judged as a slacker or hedonist. I love that at the end of the article Krugman gives a shout out to Santorum: "And whatever else you may say about French economic policies, they seem extremely supportive of the family as an institution. Senator Rick Santorum, are you reading this?"
