Actually Krugman is perfectly consistent.

If the President has an R next to his name, anything that administration does is “bad economics”. If the President has a D next to their name, anything they are doing they should be doing much much more of.

He not a serious economist, he is a shameless propagandist.

Krugman always has been a scumbag. If he were a politician, I expect someone would find him in bed with a young boy.

He didn’t note Krugman’s finger-in-the-wind about-face on the “ethics” of Unemployment Compensation. Earlier this year he was pounding the table for longer and longer extensions, which directly contradicted the college Economics textbook he authored.

Krugman is a MAN?! Why isn’t this in Breaking News?

[VeniVidiVici]

On a final note, Krugman's statement at the time that "job creation is essentially non-existent" under President Bush was rendered complete nonsense by the fact that the unemployment rate fell from its 6.3 per cent peak to 5.6 per cent, which was the same rate as when Clinton ran for a second term in 1996...

Make sure to remind your liberal friends and relatives that unemployment has DOUBLED since the Democrats took control of congress.

I’ve no idea what it is about President Bush that drove Krugman nuts,

Brookesnews.com has excellent economic commentary from the Austrian perspective (which is the correct perspective). Well worth checking out.
