Another “Oops” Moment for Paul Krugman

I’m tempted to feel a certain degree of sympathy for Paul Krugman.

As a leading proponent of the notion that bigger government stimulates growth (a.k.a., Keynesian economics), he’s in the rather difficult position of rationalizing why the economy was stagnant when Obama first took office and the burden of government spending was rising.

And he also has to somehow explain why the economy is now doing better at a time when the fiscal burden of government is declining.

One can only wish that the Sony Hackers could hack into the LIBERAL Media and expose all their dishonest connections with the Democratic Party and the Bork Obunga regime and the Paul Krugmans of the world too:

Imagine all the dishonest scheming and “propaganda planning” done in internal MSNBC emails... What a treasure trove that would put the final death knell on the mainstream liberal propaganda media.

Not that I respect hackers and virus makers against individuals like us, but, hey, war is war...

Historically, conservatives always seem to fight a clean war with the left, but the left has always sucker-punches the right in a cowardly, dishonest manner.

It seems more and more apparent that we can’t win against the greasiness of the left (by being gentlemen) unless we use their tactics against them.

For $25K/month Krugman will take his time figuring this one out.
