I don't think Krugman is a moron, though. I think he's a highly intelligent evil person with no morals whatsoever.
what lies at the heart of Krugmans psyche is a deep hatred for the American people.
Krugman is a very well educated and intelligent person. But our society has not seen fit to call on him to solve all of our problems (foreign policy, trade, health care) etc. This enrages intellectuals like Krugman. They are instead relogated to the corners of society writing for newspapaers, teaching in universities instead of planning every aspect of our lives.
if the american people were only smarter and hired Krugman to be an unaccountable central planner, we'd see the wisdom of his ways..
this is wha tdrives him and most other intellectuals and explains not only their hate of america, but their love for countries like France, the USSR which are/were run by intellectual elites
