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.
