You mean to tell me Paul Krugman lied? And on the pages of the NYTimes at that? Who knew?

My pleasure, Rob. This was really one of those man-behind-the-screen moments.

Krugman can't see reality, but reality can see him.

If one wants to do something about stagnating wages in the lower half of the income distribution, controlling the borders would be a good place to start.
If one wants to do something tangible to reduce disparities in wealth, transitioning to a fully funded, individually owned, investment based Social Security System is a very powerful, albeit longterm, solution.
Not that liberals will ever connect the dots.

This nut case Krugman is a a ranting lunatic.

Krugman is the kind of guy that would be put in charge of the Central Planning Department if the Democrats are ever able to realize their utopia of replacing the Congress with an American Politburo. he would get to crank out the 5 Year Plans for our continued prosperity...

Krugman is beginning to remind me of that other NYSlimer - Adam Clymer!

I stopped reading Krugman years ago (well I usually read the first paragraph or so, anyway). The steady drumbeat of 'Bush is killing the economy' hasn't panned out.
Since he has no credibility as an economist, I'm guessing the only reason that he's given a column is that he is a rabid Bush-basher. Since there are plenty of those out there, I have no reason to waste my time reading the rantings of yet another dime store liberal.

"Is kicking the can down the road while waiting for a politician to come along to solve things for him the best Krugman can do?" Yes. Waiting for a politician to save him (and us?) is the best Krugman can do. PBS chatter-jiver Tavis Smiley could get little more than "...Ubb, ...dub, well, I'd raise taxes..., ummkay...", after asking Krugman, "Well, you're the New York Times' columnist, the heavy hitter, but any one of us can write a column and put it out there. Anyone can tell us what's wrong. What would you do if you could, Mr. Princeton Professor of Economics, how would you fix our government?" http://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/archive/200510/20051010_transcript.html

I thought your comment said Central Plumbing!His experience in the open sewage pit formerly known as the New York Times would be useful in that role as well.
The good news keeps coming:

What a useless twit this guy is.
I mean, as far as I can tell, he has been wrong about EVERYTHING.
