But things got worse for the professor. Matching Krugman's repeated claim that the "stimulus" was too small, Sean produced peer-reviewed economic science from Alesina, who examined 92 attempts at stimulus since 1970 in OECD countries and found that tax cuts, but not spending, stimulated. Krugman stammered a reply, but the damage was done; his acolytes had learned that economic science existed that contradicted Krugman's claim (central to Obama's "stimulus" legislation) that government's spending your money helps an economy.
Duh. HOW many of us keep saying that?
How can Krugman, Obama, and the Dems be so idiotic as to ignore what actually works? They can't be that dumb. Their destruction of our economy has to be intentional.

I've been saying for years that Krugman is a hack. His theories hold no water in real world economics, his ideas have been shown to fail, and his need to follow Japans failed economic recovery program was the final nail in his coffin.

The funny thing is that Obama himself was grilled on these very points before the election on a Bill O'Reilly show. He just stuttered during the facts Bill presented, had no answers and provided more of a "hope" message that it would work.
It's hard to believe that a lying worthless spin rage like the American not thinker is still hitting new lows but some how it always manages to invent more inane garbage.

If it doesn't fit your agenda, then surely it is garbage, right?
If it's printed in a trash mag like American not thinker then it is garbage. Sorry, you are what you print and not thinker has a long history of printing trash.
Befitting his ideology, Krugman has only one policy to propose, regardless of topic: Transfer more resources from the discipline and dynamism of markets to the inefficiency and cronyism of government.
So tell me, "American thinkers"
when crooked-ass people all over America started giving away loans to people who didn't deserve them, and then the banks packaged subprime MBS'es, and then paid the rating agencies to give them a AAA rating, and then sold them to institutional investors around the world, and then "insured" them with CDS'es that had no capital reserves, was that this famed "discpline" of the market in action, or was that just the "Dynamism" part? It sure as sh*t wasn't the government that did all that.
Also, the "American Thinker" says that Keynesian policies like Krugman's are what got us into this problem. What policies are those, exactly? Our problem debt is private mortgage debt created by private financial institutions and banks. how TF was that policy Keynesian?

So Krugman didn't actually say that he was going to filter out posts that were "longer than 3 inches"?
Maybe he was suffering from ***** envy?
