Esteemed Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman believes an alien invasion would fix the economy.
“If we discovered that, you know, space aliens were planning to attack and we needed a massive buildup to counter the space alien threat and really inflation and budget deficits took secondary place to that, this slump would be over in 18 months,” he said. “And then if we discovered, oops, we made a mistake, there aren’t any aliens, we’d be better—”
“There was a ‘Twilight Zone’ episode like this in which scientists fake an alien threat in order to achieve world peace,” Krugman said. “Well, this time, we don’t need it, we need it in order to get some fiscal stimulus.”
Well, an alien abduction of Obama would be a step in the right direction. The DJIA would jump up an easy 1,000 points on the news.
They're going to fix the economy and then destroy civilization.
Speaking of the economy, how many federal grant dollars were spent to produce this report?
