Try to cite someone more credible next time.

Like Paul Krugman? You think he's credible?

Krugman is a joke. He is a know-nothing. He's not even an economist. He's a nobody.

Krugman isn't an economist, dude.

Opinion on Krugman vary. But reading people who call Krugman a "hack" while exhaling Krauthammer and Peter Schiff is hilarious. Comedy gold, Jerry!

Another money printer. What's the point?

The only good thing about that would be: we would finally not have to hear his over the fence left wing rants anymore. That being said, do you really think a journalist would be appointed the head of the Federal Reserve?

He would never be confirmed.

Why not?

Look how well it turned out whan he was advising Enron.

Oh... that's why not.

Obama appointed Larry Summers to the NEC and Tim Geithner to Secretary of the Treasury. Appointing Krugman would complete the trifecta of stupid. Although, not stupid on their part...brilliant for their objective.

Lean No--after all, Paul Krugman was the guy who encouraged then-Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan to create a housing bubble in the early 2000s. Remind me again how that turned out?
