Another day, another doozy from NY Times’ economics columnist and Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman:

Paul, you might want to stick to Alien Invasion ...... since apparently nobody cares about what you opine.
Paul Krugman.... dumbass.
“Remarkable Honesty” because Pelosi’s “We have to pass the bill, so we can find out what’s in it (the bill)”
If you like your DemocRats, you can keep your ‘Rats ..
Yup, dumbass pretty much sums that idiot up.
Have to be to think that Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch was honest and even of average intelligence.
Just because you won a prize once doesn't instantly or permanently make you smart.
Q.E.D.; Paul Krugman
What a gruber...

Krugman Krap: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3573778/posts
Apparently those with fork-tongue hang together but we knew that. Leftists.
I’m wondering how many knee pads old Paul had to use before he won?
Ole Paul put in as much effort and brain power to win his nobel as Barrack Obama did.
Paul Krugman is the New York Slimes poster boy and #1 “Intellectual-Yet-Idiot”!!
Our Governments, Universities/Colleges and many businesses/corporations are controlled and operated by the Intellectual Yet Idiots, who have been controlling our lives for decades. These Intellectual Yet Idiots control our media, most of DC and many states down to the county/city level.
Nassim Taleb Exposes The World’s “Intellectual-Yet-Idiot” Class!
What we have been seeing worldwide, from India to the UK to the US, is the rebellion against the inner circle of no-skin-in-the-game policymaking “clerks” and journalists-insiders, that class of paternalistic semi-intellectual experts with some Ivy league, Oxford-Cambridge, or similar label-driven education who are telling the rest of us 1) what to do, 2) what to eat, 3) how to speak, 4) how to think… and 5) who to vote for.
But the problem is the one-eyed following the blind: these self-described members of the “intelligenzia” can’t find a coconut in Coconut Island, meaning they aren’t intelligent enough to define intelligence and fall into circularities?—?, but their main skills is ability to pass exams written by people like them.
With psychology papers replicating less than 40%, dietary advice reversing after 30 years of fatphobia, macroeconomic analysis working worse than astrology, the appointment of Bernanke who was less than clueless of the risks, and pharmaceutical trials replicating at best only 1/3th of the time, people are perfectly entitled to rely on their own ancestral instinct and listen to their grandmothers (or Montaigne and such filtered classical knowledge) with a better track record than these policymaking goons.

Indeed one can see that these academico-bureaucrats wanting to run our lives aren’t even rigorous, whether in medical statistics or policymaking. They can’t tell science from scientism?—?in fact in their eyes scientism looks more scientific than real science. (For instance it is trivial to show the following: much of what the Cass-Sunstein-Richard Thaler types?—?those who want to “nudge” us into some behavior?—?much of what they call “rational” or “irrational” comes from their misunderstanding of probability theory and cosmetic use of first-order models.)

I’m 58, retired, living in Florida, <100% FPL
Like about a million Floridian adults, I’m on a health care plan only George W. Bush, Jr. and Barack Obama could truly love.
And about one million Floridian adults will continue to enjoy a premium-free life, maybe, thanks to Traitor John and the RINOettes.
Only six years and two months to Medicare for me!
Neither party seemed to be very eager to show off their less than perfect creations. Or to admit taxes would have to increase in order to pay for them, or else disqualify a lot of people.
