Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Krugman is clearly a lunatic. Since he is a public figure and has a bizarre influence on public policy, it would be appropriate for him to divulge just what medications are influencing his thoughts.

Gov’t/Krugman’s (read: statists) understanding of Keynesian economics: “Government spends now, saves never.”

We have been getting one bad economic report after another on a daily basis. What will it take for these fools to stop defending the indefensible? Eventually, they are going to have to face the fact that their first black “president” well — no he couldn’t.

According to Krugman, the reason we are in this hole is because we did not dig it deep enough.

RE :”Case in point is Krugman’s latest campaign to argue that, despite an $830 billion stimulus and trillion-dollar-plus annual deficits, President Obama has been an austerity-driven tightwad. At the same time, Krugman says President Reagan — whose supply-side, free-market economic policies powered a huge recovery after the 1981-82 recession — was a closet Keynesian.
“If you actually look at the actual track record of government spending (and) government employment,” Krugman said this weekend, “Reagan is the Keynesian and Obama ... has been the anti-Keynesian.”

The writer accepts the premise that Krugman believes the theories he preaches, that somehow (huge) temporary deficit based stimulus spending will jump-start the economy which will then sustain itself someday. I see no reason to believe he is serious when he repeats this.

His economic theories always align themselves with progressives economic social justice objectives, You run up huge debts getting voters addicted to government spending and eventually they will support taxes, especially progressive ones. He said the trick to national health care is to expand the entitlement and the rationing will come later because of budget contraints.

He is a Marxist dressed up as an expert economist by the liberal MSM, nothing more.

Krugman just makes stuff up.

Blind Faith?

Try economic ignoramus and socialist-loving political hack...

Krugman clings tenaciously to leftist dogma regardless of how economically destructive it is: the ends of social redistribution of wealth justify the means of tortured reason and academic Doublethink.

There was a reason that the Brits had the extreme punishment of ‘Hanging, Drawing and Quartering.’

It Punished
It Killed, with no chance of resurrection
It acted as a Warning to others.

Krugman! Step forward.

There are few scientific results more useful or more uniformly covered than Newton's Laws of Motion. These are still taught to the vast majority of Americans, because they are both fundamental and useful. Yet, on November 6, 1919, when Sir Frank Watson Dyson reported to a joint meeting of the Royal Society and the Royal Astronomical Society concerning "A Determination of the Deflection of Light by the Sun’s Gravitational Field, from Observations Made at the Total Eclipse of May 29, 1919", scientists seriously reconsidered the accuracy of Newton's Laws. They eventually accepted Einstein's theory of General Relativity, which had been supported by the measurements during that eclipse and was confirmed with increasing accuracy by later measurements through the 1970s. That's how real scientists and other real thinkers react to information that does not match the theory. We still teach Newton's Laws, because they are useful in many situations, but educated Americans know better.

Global Warming "scientists" and Keynesian economists have a different approach:
