You’re so right - it’s appalling how many supposedly “intelligent” people (so many in power as well) believe in Krugman’s mantra - classic Keynesian economics (which is whacked - Hayek economics is correct, and these two diametrically opposed philosophies separate liberals from conservatives).
But here’s something even more appalling, and what we’re up against with the mass brainwashing of our youth - Paul Krugman received the 2008 Nobel Prize in Economics. Besides being an author, columnist, and blogger, he teaches economics and international affairs at Princeton University.
That’s right - Princeton! Being a loud tv panelist and vile NY Times hack isn’t enough for him. No, he grabs a Nobel, then devotes his time to propagandizing young and old alike.
And there are thousands just like him out there, teaching students of all ages while getting accolades from the liberal intelligensia and MSM.
Did you hear that student loans will have to have payments made against them WHILE THE STUDENT is STILL in COLLEGE according to the new “debt” bill??? THAT may change those bastions of propaganda....
