There was a lot of lead paint where he grew up. It stunted his growth and damaged his brain

He’s right. If they did, Krugman would have been cancelled long ago.

Just one of the reasons a Nobel Prize means less than an Oscar.

Another Nobel Prize winning idiot!
He believes the stimulus wasn’t big enough.

Pray for America

"KRUGMAN: The press just doesn't know how to handle flat out untruths."

Didn't like 30 of them of a certain age make their careers out of calling Nixon out on about half of what he said as lies? What happened? Are none of them capable of rising to the professional quality of that dope Dan Rather? That's fairly telling

Krugman Makes a Fool of Himself:

In other news, it has been discovered that the Pope is Catholic.

No fair picking on Krugman. He’s too easy a target.

Paul Krugman fails to debunk information in a Newsweek article, written by Niall Ferguson, from this weekend titled “ “Hit the Road, Barack: Why We Need a New President.”

Krugman’s failure stems from the fact that he attempts to call the writer of the Newsweek piece “unethical” while Krugman himself misrepresents the CBO report he links to,  deliberately misleading his own readers about the costs and increased deficit projections of Obamacare.

Niall Ferguson quickly responds showing Krugman for the liar he is:

In my piece I say: “The president pledged that health-care reform would not add a cent to the deficit. But the CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation now estimate that the insurance-coverage provisions of the ACA will have a net cost of close to $1.2 trillion over the 2012–22 period.”

Krugman counters in his Conscience of a Liberal blog by saying: “The ACA would reduce, not increase, the deficit—because the insurance subsidies were fully paid for.” But I very deliberately said “the insurance coverage provisions of the ACA,” not “the ACA.” There is a big difference.

Krugman suggests that I haven’t read the CBO’s March 2010 report.

Sorry, I have, and here is what it says:

The thing I noticed the most about his appearance on “This Week” is how intimidated he was by Mary Matalin.

Krugman is a dweeb who feeling himself sliding down a slope, but rather than shutting his trap and hanging on, seeks to have others throw him a rope so they can all plummet to their peril..
