this occupant in the White House must strongly believe that if you keep doing the wrong thing over and over and you are going to get a different result.

Not necessarily, he may keep doing the wrong thing over
and over because that brings about the result he desires.

“labor economist” = academic leftist subservient to the propaganda of Big Labor

It may be possible to imagine someone who makes a career out of studying “labor” scientifically and objectively, but in practice someone drawn to and allowed to advance in that sector of the economics profession is going to be a shill for Big Labor.

According to Stewart Varney, this goof is a big advocate for the VAT tax.

Guess what’s coming.

Ah yes, another lefty economist. Just what we need.

Of course it is going to be a liberal. I am not surprised like some of you here on FR. I can’t imagine him hiring a conservative just like President Palin won’t be picking a liberal during her administration and the liberals will complain. It is the same complaining but just different characters.

I would not call Robert Lucas a communist.

It is legitimate to study Labor economics.

These people are so enamored of manipulating the economy that they have no understanding of how much damage they cause by treating the country as an experiment.

It’s bad enough that they think they are scientists competent to experiment on us, but what they actually are is small children torturing us by experimenting with processes they clearly don’t understand.

Every time the government announces it has some new grandiose meddle in mind to “fix” the economy, the economy shrinks back in fear. Rightly so.

So the new “economist” is going to fix the economy by helping big labor extort businesses. Sure, that’ll work.

I caught a news blurb yesterday that mentioned this guy Krueger played an important role in the “Cash for Clunkers” program. Yeah, since that worked out so well for this administration, I can see why they’d promote this guy! /s
