Paul Craig Roberts does right good columns - once in a while. About economics. But Ezra Pound wrote some good poetry while he was a camp follower of the Nazis

Agreed that his economics USED TO BE excellent.

But apparently not so nowadays:

I saw him on C-Span a year or two ago, holding a joint press conference with none other than Senator Chucky Cheesy Shoe-Mar of NY. Their mutual theme was opposition to foreign investment by American companies.

I don't know about you, but as far as I'm concerned, any "economist" who links his "analysis" to the ideology of Sen. Chucky has got to be either (1) an ignoramus of the first order or (2) a pathetic whack-job or (3) a totally cyncical opportunist.

And since we know from his past work that Paul Craig is certainly not an ignoramus, I'm forced to conclude that he's a whacked-out nut and/or a cynical demagogue. What a pity for a once-great mind!

I remember when Jude Wanniski went insane and started hinting that "sinister forces" in the White House were keeping his letters (about some vision the esteemed Louis Farrakhan had) away from the president.

That was hard to watch too.
