Stupid Is As Krugman Does

Paul Krugman has once again decided to call a few “fools and knaves” who disagree with him by some nasty names. In fact, the Nobel Laureate’s habit of lashing out with vitriolic playground language is pretty well documented; and, quite frankly, it demonstrates an astounding lack of self-awareness when it comes from a Keynesian who has turned being wrong into a career option. But in this rare case, I might actually let his painfully ironic comments slide without condemnation.

He is an arrogant idiot, priest at church was telling us pride has no place in our lives despite the worldly emphasis on it.

Ah yes, the stature-enhancing power of the Nobel prize, just like our other national genius, Barack Hussein Ebola.

Now that DNC Dave is out of a job (for the time being) - I wonder if NBC will continue to allow him to appear on Sundays as some sort of sage that we all need to listen to?

Has it ever been explained why he was awarded a Nobel prize?

Same reason Obama was - anti-American sentiments.

The Nobel Prize has been reduced to a status akin to being elected 8th grade class Vice President.

Like the Pulitzer, or an Emmy it is just about behind the scenes butt kissing and coercion.

I like the line about Krugman making a career out of being wrong:

Remember how Krugman tried to use healthcare costs as a way to justify Obamacare? Remember how he said Europe would weather the economic turmoil far easier than America? Remember when he suggested that Europe’s debt crises was in no way related to an ever-expanding welfare state? (That was my personal favorite “Krugman” moment… Government’s spending more money than ever before on entitlements was, somehow, not related to an increasing government debt.)
