Paul Krugman on Rachel Maddow show- talks about Palin

[MrBWB]

I do agree with maybe 50ish% of what Sarah Palin was saying.. But still, I'm wondering what anyone is doing listening to a 1.5hour speech on economics from someone with a communications degree from University of Idaho.

Barry Obama got a Noballs Appeasement Prize in Oslo and started another war

Paul Krugman , LOL you gotta be shittin me. Sarah Palin got it exactly right. Krugman was one of the ones that never saw this coming. He offers up no logical explanation for this crisis. Hey Krugman, why dont you debate Peter Schiff, he said he woudl debate you and even pay your speaking fee for the privilege to make you look like the horses ass you truly are

@jjrglobal

Krugman got his Doctorate in Economics from M.I.T. and you are just some Youtube commenter who got into economics and politics 2 years ago.

Sarah Palin is probably could not pass Econ 101

@tonybonez

And George Bush has a M.B.A from Harvard....so what's your point?

[tonybonez]

@rmccay88

I thought the point was pretty clear-----I'll trust a dude who got his doctorate in economics from MIT and won the Nobel prize in economics, concerning economic questions over some youtube commenter who got into economics a few months ago after watching a Peter Schiff video.......

You're a fool if you trust any central banking head.

@tonybonez , Krugman's solution is to print more money

Nostradamus predicted Palin.

Just about everything that is wrong now in the US was started by Reagan and his administration.

[stirrrrrr]

then aggravated every successor, democrats and republicans alike

[colibri1]

That is very true. I think subsequent Democratic presidents saw Reagan's programs as "successful" (meaning he got away with it and ended up a favorite of the wealthy) so they just continued in the same direction. And now the whole country has been remade by Reaganite policies, so much so that reversing it would take a huge effort, especially since people who have grown up in the past 3 decades don't know any other way of seeing things.

[stirrrrrr]

my sentiments exactly

except i was born in the past 3 decades :)

[colibri1]

Then there's still some hope.

[stirrrrrr]

born in 1979 to be exact

not that hopeful i guess

[colibri1]

Except that means that you entered your teenage years in the early 90s, at the start of the rise of right-wing media made possible by Reagan's rescinding of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987. So you've made it through almost two decades of extreme right propaganda dominating your country and still ended up with your worldview. That makes me a little hopeful.

Not everything, the tax cuts were vital in ending the stagflation of the 1970s. His policies on deregulation were wrong though.
