    This is an evil man. He literally has no idea what he is talking about. Five minutes studying Austrian economics will make anyone more of an economist than this jackass. We are SCREWED!

    Krugman is not an American. This dumb bastard is actually teaching your kids.

  • Thank you for ...

    Thank you for making clear the following:

    1. Your lack of understanding of the Austrian position.
    2. Your willingness to attempt to cover your ignorance of the issues with name calling rather than facts.

    As for your last point, I don't recall saying that ALL Keynesian were way off on their predictions, just that Krugman ADMITS he didn't see it coming. Why interview a guy for solutions when he missed the boat? Nice attempt to change the subject rather than address my actual comment.

  • I'm very happy that ...

    I'm very happy that they don't hate themselves, and I will not, could not stop them from doing whatever it is they decide to do. If I actually had a voice in government, perhaps they'd listen, but we both know that aside from the general election, our opinions always fall on deaf ears in Washington.

  • I'm not duped by ...

    I'm not duped by anything. My economic beliefs are supported by theory, research, economists, politicians and Joe-blow people off the street, just as yours are.

    Define "contemporary economics".

  • Better than which ...

    Better than which alternative? Limited government? How so?
    As an equal opportunity criticizer, I take issue with either side of the fence who suggests that "it's all the Republicans' fault" or "it's all the Democrats' fault". The demise of this country was a collaboration of failed policy on both sides, plain and simple. You seem to be giving the left a free pass and excuse them of any wrong doing.

    Well, we now have a government in place that doesn't hate itself and knows how to do its job - perhaps you should let them do it.

  • You're behaving ...

    You're behaving like a real sad excuse for a human being. Why not put a cap on the racist BS, focus on what economist Paul Krugman is saying in this video and offer some constructive comments instead of this sick bigoted bile?

  • What irks me is ...

    What irks me is that people like yourself continue to get duped by bullshit economics and vote against your interests because it sounds oh so logical! While you brush aside the actual record of contemporary economics.

  • "by putting faith ...

    "by putting faith in a government that has repeatedly failed to live up to their pre-election hype/promises, or, for that matter, simply do their F**king jobs?"
    Because time and time again it has proven better than the alternatives? Besides over the last 3 decades Americans have gotten the government they deserved. Republicans ran on the failure of government and were elected to prove said failure. The did a heckuva job.

    That's an awfully big "if", isn't it?

  • Perhaps if we ...

    Perhaps if we stopped electing people to government who HATE GOVERNMENT and want to "starve it to death" (Republicans), we might actually have a government that knows how to do their jobs. Being an obstructionist is also not going to help government do its job.
