Debt is servitude, so yes, in Krugman's world, it's a good thing.

Uh, right. So I should quit my job, get a couple credit cards with $25,000 limits and live off them, right?

Paul Krugman

Is an Idiot. If his opinions were alive, we should kill them with fire, just to be sure they are dead.

Only thing is, governments don’t go into debt, countries go into debt. Countries are people who pay taxes to service the debt that their government gets into. A governments is a subset of the people of a country, charged with making decisions on behalf of the population at large. Regardless of how the leaders are chosen, it is the people that are in debt. And that means all of the people, including those that have yet to be allowed to be born.

That is, there’s a reasonable argument to be made that part of what ails the world economy right now is that governments aren’t deep enough in debt.

Well, if you want to reduce our taxes by 80%, I guess that would be okay.

Debt can be good in some instances. Building infrastructure that will be used long after it is paid for is a good reason to go into debt. Going to war to prevent the end of your civilization is a necessary reason to go into debt.

Going into debt to pay for social programs should never be done. This should always be paid for out of the existing tax base and adjusted according to affordability.

Krugman always has been a few shares short of a round lot.

INSANITY!!! After 19 Trillion dollars spent frivolously, he draws the conclusion that we have not wasted enough? So it would be MUCH better at 40 Trillion in debt? Utopia at 80 Trillion? Heaven on Earth at 160 Trillion?

Until we hold these people accountable, the will not stop this lunacy...

Krugman is a twisted commie foxtrot.

Debt can be necessary for certain things. It is never "good".

Government debt is especially nasty because in theory it sucks money out of the credit markets that could otherwise be used to create real jobs.

But of course that was before the FRB went rogue and has created a mess we will never get out of.

Markets will tank and wealth will be destroyed. Central banks will print, and then the big investment banks will buy up what’s left at pennies on the dollar.

Thus is crony capitalism transitioning into neo-feudalism. World government to follow.

His argument is higher spending is needed and justifies debt and some garbage about interest rates.

Let's see - I own my house and both vehicles and have no loans out - yet I haven't been debt free for a long time because I use my credit card for food/gas/etc., and am technically in debt at all times even though i pay off the balance monthly.

However, I'm not Trillions and Trillions in debt - what's the difference in the scenarios?
