It's amazing how many morons on the net think they know macro economics without having an education -- in any subject, economic or otherwise. If you don't know higher mathematics, you don't know ECON. That's it. Yet these idiots on the net hate on Keynes and Krugman without having read either, or worse, heard about the general theory through twats like Peter Schiff or Alex Jones, who talk of some strange parody bearing no resemblance to the thing.
@jessemaurais I happen to know all of that. And what is your counter argument? Krugman is still on the wrong position, and Kaynes theory is bull... and may work a little bit in short term. You are just assuming that a normal economy can be productive only with small interest rates, but you are wrong.
Krugman is a Pencil Pusher economist who is either a liar or is as stupid as JRogers claims.He wants tax on financial transactions claimg conservatives tout how great what Singapore & HK R doing who use this tax.He fails to reveal:SP:NO taxes on capital gains(&Krugman demands Congress raise capital gains taxes);Corp income rate flat 17%;income tax rates R substantially lower than U.S.;In (Hong Kong) HK, corp&individual, are substantially lower than U.S;HK has no tax on capital gains

The dislike bar on Krugman's videos gives me faith in humanity. And I'm not joking.

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”- Krugman painting the kettle black.

@dlane0308 Thank you! I thought maybe I was the only one on the net who gets Krugman, or who doesn't have a hard on for Ron Paul.

Krugman pretty much sums up the economic problems of America. Anymore of his policies get put into place then we can watch the whole country burn.

wtf man if we would have listened more to people like Krugman or Stiglitz we wouldn't be in this social, economic and ethical crisis we are today.

Krugman is a real idiot. He and Obama have Nobel prizes, this speaks volumes about the committee that is issuing that particular prize.
