Samuelson was no Friedman. He was a classic leftist academic (Larry Summers father-in-law). His policies were all a disaster. His idea of economic advice was to call 4 other economists and just report their opinions as his own.

Dems never learn from their mistakes because CONSERVATIVE republicans keep fixing their boondoggles!

Then the republican Conservatives get blamed for the problem in the first place, by the MSM!

This vicious cycle has to stop!

I used this guy's textbook when I studied economics 30 years ago. I did't think much about it at the time.

I'm always amazed at how distinguished Economics professors can be wrong so often. John Kenneth Galbraith was wrong about just about EVERYTHING, all the time.

My freshman econ "professor" was a T/A from Israel who required us to "know" that increased taxes were good for the economy.

My guess is, stupidity rolls uphill in a university setting. The higher you go, the more stupid you become. The Peter Principle on steroids.

Hmmm...exactly the type a demonrat politician would listen to and use as an excuse to make policy. No wonder so many university types believe in algore's global warming.
