Health Reform: Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman says critics of ObamaCare should cease and desist, because the law is "working." Given his track record on health care analysis, we'll politely ignore this advice.

Wasn’t this asshat fired by some organization somewhere?
Krudman is so...yesterday.

More part-time jobs now than full-time jobs.
Yep, it’s working perfectly!
