Krugman is an Energizer Bunny of negative sentiment. If we were to rate negativity on a scale of 1 to 10, and we made 0 zoloft and 10 Pat Buchanon, 'Kruges' would be up to about an 8.5.

He focuses on the "payroll" survey produced by the Department of Labor, which shows 2.6 million jobs lost since Bush took office. But the DOL's alternate jobs statistics the "household" survey that is used to compute the unemployment rate shows that the economy is down only 273,000 jobs.

Well, this is only because of people spending up the money they got from the tax cut. Well, no, we never said that only the rich would get money from the tax cut and they would save it not spend it.
Besides, a 7.2% economic growth rate is a risky Republican strategy that will lead to hyper-inflation.

I think Krugman would be a Spinal Tap 11 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Schadenfreude that's that word for taking pleasure in the other guy's failure. But what's the word for that feeling you get when you've been hoping for the other guy to fail, but he ends up succeeding . . . spectacularly?
Um, typically in the English language we call that "sour grapes"...

You won't hear many places that a high percentage of those jobs "lost" were lost due to increased productivity, generally perceived to be a good thing.
Productivity, that is, not job losses.

All these blogs completely ignore the effects of 9/11. 9/11 dealt the economy a huge blow, which it is just now overcoming. This slowdown obviously effected the national debt and destroyed millions of jobs. 9/11 occasioned an expensive series of military actions which further tipped the deficit.
The jobs destroyed by 9/11 might more fairly be charged to Bill Clinton, whose feckless and irresolute foreign policy encouraged terrorist to attack the United States.
An intellectually honest critic of the President must account for the effects of 9/11. The set of intellectually honest critics obviously excludes Krugman.

But he'll probably still be calling it a "miracle." After all, that's what people always call things they don't understand.That's a pretty good put-down for the "eminent" professor, isn't it...

Bill Hobbs' blog has some good info on the economy: one of his post has links to info that there are more working now than when W took office.

The editorial in my local newspaper called the 7.2% growth 'gaudy'. Kinda like greed in the eighties.

Thanks for posting this.
I will bookmark it and use it as big ball bat when the Whiners and pseudo consevatives try to post their gloom and doom about our economy.
Herr Krugman = the prince of the New National Socialists working in the media.
