A Quick Look at Bloomberg News's Opinion Section for April 12,  2012

INFLATION IS EXACTLY THE WRONG PRESCRIPTION FOR THE U.S. by Caroline Baum --
“ Paul Krugman, another advocate of higher inflation, argued in his April 5
New York Times column that 3 percent or 4 percent inflation would “almost
surely help the economy.” It would do this by eroding the real value of debt
and discouraging businesses and consumers from sitting on cash. If 3 to 4
percent inflation can do all that, just think what 6 to 8 percent could
do!” [Link.]

BOTH PARTIES’ RIDICULOUS TAX PLEDGES MEAN BOTH LOSE by Ezra Klein -- “The
two parties spent most of this week, as they tend to spend most of every
week, arguing about taxes. Democrats are for ‘em. Republicans, against.
Right? Wrong.” [Link.]

WILL U.S. AVOID A RECESSION IN 2012? (PART III) by Gary Shlling –
“Continuing uncertainty over eventual congressional action will only further
depress the confidence and spending of U.S. consumers and business.”

FRACKERS NEED TO DISCLOSE WHAT THEY’RE PUTTING IN THE GROUND by Bloomberg
View editors – “We agree that companies should be allowed to protect the
recipes for their proprietary fracking mixes. But regulators need to know
all the substances that are being pumped into the ground.” [Link.]
