Of course, because it has worked so well the last four years. Krugman is a prime example of why Nobel prizes are absolutely worthless.

Socialist Utopia is always just around the corner. This has been true for a long, long time. All you have to do is keeping doing precisely what you have been doing, in precisely the same way: more taxes, more spending, more government. Eventually, the decline will magically turn around, and everythign will become perfect.

Trust me. We're just inches away from paradise.

$800 billion was wasted on Porkulus with no stimulus resulting.

Recall that Hillary Clinton opposed tax cuts and rebates because the public would “just waste the money”.

Government has shown no sense in the handling of money. If it wasn’t for payoffs, there would be no rhyme or reason to their squandering of the public wealth.

Gawd Awl Mighty. It’s hard to swim with a 40 lb dumbells chained to your neck. It won’t get any easier if you add another 20 pounds.

But I’d like to see Krugman prove me wrong in a very deep lake a long way from shore.

And then another $800 billion was spent again in each succeeding year. I think that’s why the Senate has not passed a budget since the Stimulus was passed.

Well, not really. Nothing surprises me from this current crop of Socialist scum.

“increased government spending is key to economic recovery”

Tough argument to rebut: If increased spending doesn’t result in recovery, then we must not have spent enough money.

Tough for retards, that is. We’re living the movie.
QED: Must. Spend. More. Plants love Brawndo. Why? Because it has electrolytes.
Do you even know what electrolytes are? Uh, it’s the stuff in Brawndo that plants crave.

Krugman, the delusional marxist, might, with years of psychotherapy, regain some sanity.

Then, on the other hand, he just might be so insane that even a frontal lobotamy wouldn’t help. Couldn’t hurt, though!
