So, No Nobel Prize winner in the Treasury?

Krugman is the guy who argues that the nearly one trillion in stimulus did not work because WE DID NOT SPEND ENOUGH.

By "head elf" you mean the one wearing knee pads and a bib?

Krugman is at least smart enough to recognize that as Sec. of Treasury, he might actually be held responsible for something as opposed to his present job as Democratic propagandist.

No kidding. This is the clown who suggested faking an alien invasion as a means of seizing money and rights from the American people.

Too bad about Krugman, but Michael Moore or the “Reverend” Wright or Chris Matthews or one of The Occupant’s MuslimBrother friends would do a better job anyway!

True. While Krugman is an idiot and a non reality based “economist” the time has come for paybacks. Even Obama doesn’t believe a word this moron says so they pass on his appointment. They should make him the “ALICE IN WONDERLAND” CZAR!

To: DrDude

you are exactly right. Ive stopped reading Krugman articles because so many of them are “alice in wonderlandy” with little, if any, connection to reality

he’s been a useful idiot for The Occupier
but that’s about it

Why not Ron Paul for Fed Chairman? That’s the agency he attacks most often...

Krugman is not an economist but he plays one on the NY Slimes.

Exactly my thoughts.
Rather than pontificating propaganda issued from his Olympian NYT perch, he’d have to be accountable for the real-world effects of his statements and policies. Krugman specializes in unilateral mock outrage and petulance when any of his
proscriptions are challenged. We already have one of those in the WH. His name is Obama.

LOL!! I guess he knows enough to know that if he took that
position, the jig would be up and he would be exposed as the
fraud he is.

That or he knows he can’t pass the confirmation process.
That bar was set pretty low by tas-cheat geithner. And you
know he would love the constant exposure and limelight. So
you have to wonder,what’s in YOUR closet, krugman?!?!?
