Debt is servitude, so yes, in Krugman's world, it's a good thing.

Uh, right. So I should quit my job, get a couple credit cards with $25,000 limits and live off them, right?

“inflation”
Japan has tried to raise inflation for years. We are trying to do the same. The fools think they can control it, if they succeed

Paul Krugman Is an Idiot. If his opinions were alive, we should kill them with fire, just to be sure they are dead.

Careful with that criticism, after all Krugman is a Nobel Laureate (just like Obama and Arafat)!

Only thing is, governments don’t go into debt, countries go into debt. Countries are people who pay taxes to service the debt that their government gets into. A governments is a subset of the people of a country, charged with making decisions on behalf of the population at large. Regardless of how the leaders are chosen, it is the people that are in debt. And that means all of the people, including those that have yet to be allowed to be born.

That is, theres a reasonable argument to be made that part of what ails the world economy right now is that governments arent deep enough in debt.Well, if you want to reduce our taxes by 80%, I guess that would be okay.

They can’t of course. And the way things are going, the day will come when inflation is going to rise wildly out of control.

To: dynachrome
Debt can be good in some instances. Building infrastructure that will be used long after it is paid for is a good reason to go into debt. Going to war to prevent the end of your civilization is a necessary reason to go into debt.
Going into debt to pay for social programs should never be done. This should always be paid for out of the existing tax base and adjusted according to affordability.

INSANITY!!! After 19 Trillion dollars spent frivolously, he draws the conclusion that we have not wasted enough? So it would be MUCH better at 40 Trillion in debt? Utopia at 80 Trillion? Heaven on Earth at 160 Trillion?
Until we hold these people accountable, the will not stop this lunacy...
