This was written by a Nobel prize winning economist without a trace or sarcasm, irony or humor.

Did he get the Nobel prize for telling the most absurd lie with a straight face?

Krugman is a semi-literate, semi-intelligent dweeb who got a ‘gimme’ from the nobie for finding a rounding error ( and didn’t have the guts, courage or integrity to say so and turn it down)

Oh, btw, he may be educated.

What the world needs now is societies with people who possess self-disciple and industriousness.

And then, Liberty.

I wonder if leftist like Krugman will freak if we have a world wide Bankruptcy and just start fresh with mandated constitutionally sound economic policies. i.e., governments can not borrow money nor spend more than their citizens will give them.

My BIL was a heroin abuser. His problem was that he couldn’t get enough.

I think it’s a good analogy.

That’s like saying if you’re overweight, you should eat more.

He got his “prize” from a bunch of big government socialists for proposing that big government socialism is the way to go.

History, reality, and experience be damned.

“My BIL was a heroin abuser. His problem was that he couldn’t get enough.”

Since you say “was,” I assume he is deceased?

That’s a GREAT analogy!

Beyond that, those very low interest rates are telling us something about what markets want.

They tell us nothing about the markets.

They tell us the Fed has decreed that interest rates be essentially zero, so the Federal Government interest expenditure doesn't blow up in its face.

At least not right away.

Actually, no. Under threats of divorce from his wife, and with other health problems, he seems to have given it up, for now.

He’s pretty decent when clean and sober, but he’s psychologically needy... I’d say the odds are below 50-50 that it will last.

Give the elites an intellectual basis for believing that their indulgences are ordained by science and they'll give you prizes and accolades galore.

Freud is a household name today because his teachings could be interpreted to equate the disciplining and control of sexual license with the causes of mental illness. The elites seized on his theories to throw all that aside and open the door to a Pandora's box of sexual dysfunction and betrayal. All good for you, because Freud (supposedly) said so.

If debt is so good, why are Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal having such a tough time?

Saying debt is good is Big Lie therapy for innumerate fools who don’t understand how compound interest works.

I believe in this writer's case he got the award for kissing their A$$ correctly.

What do I mean by CORRECTLY?

CORRECTLY: "Not on the left side.. not on the right side.. but right in the groove!"
