Does Krugman act so obnoxiously in every debate?

Yea along with the peace prize to a war mongering, drone bomb dropping dude like obamney, and then the award was given to the EU this year too! What a joke. it's a complete failure, and causing the countries to turn against each other, there's 25% unemployment in Greece and Spain and many bankruptcies here or on the verge, as well as austerity measures...how does that win an award? People are so brainwashed it's sad.

Those Canadians were paid by the right to do that. Evil right wing conservative Republicans GOPers!

AD HOMINEM? That's it? Just an insult? That seems pretty simpleminded to me. Just think how much more well off Europe was before the EU compared to now. So how do you come to the conclusion that I do not understand "international relations"? Please explain....

What the hell are you talking about? I wasn't referring to your grammar at all. Your grammar was fine for a Youtube comment. So maybe don't get so upset over your assumed "American arrogance" that you miss the real point entirely. Calling a brilliant and proven (why do you think he got the prize?) economist a "fag" just because you don't like the truth of what he says is very low.

Don't be so touchy.

You equate English grammar with intelligence? only American arrogance will believe that if you can't speak or write english well you're considered less intelligent. by your logic, if you can't speak or write Cantonese my native language, your an idiot too. you are a very ignorant and stupid person

The low nature of your intellect tell us that your comments are meaningless.

If you are too simpleminded to understand international relations then maybe don't expose that on a public forum.

$25 for 1 aspirin IS NOT A GOOD SYSTEM! Except for the person selling it that is.... If you support that, I must inform you that you are the brainwashed one.

Americans get the least care for their dollar than almost any other country, including underdeveloped ones! The fact that the US leads the world in most areas of science and technology, not just medicine, is a quality of our nation, NOT the result of the anti-consumer price-gouging system we have today. It is indefensible that one can be sold, without even being asked, tens of $1000's of unneeded services and that money goes into a few people's pockets, not to improving our health care!

Organ donation in the US is double the rate per capita as Canada. That's a personal choice. That's not the heath system's fault but that will have a big impact on transplants per capita.
