It's pronounced "Crewgmen".

Also, the reason he has a Nobel Prize in economics is that he's a brilliant economist; the reason you don't is that you're an ugly fuck who sits on youtube all day and has no friends.

You're a pompous prick. There is really no reason to think that you're little video will actaully have any effect whatsoever on the world. Why do it then? To satisfy your need to feel special in the face of the overwhelming fact that you obviously don't know shit about economics?

"There is really no reason to think that you're little video will actaully have any effect whatsoever on the world."

Oh, but it did. It pissed you off :P

This video is devoid of historical reality. In fact, it outright misleads people. The economy "may' have improved from 1934 to 1937? The fact is the economy rocked during this period - GDP growing at a rate that would make Reagan blush while unemployment was cut drastically. This guy also suggests that "the U.S never ran a deficit during the FDR years and this is NOT true. In 1937, FDR did cave to pressures from the right to balance the budget and looked what happened. Krugman was right.

Well, with 100 million monkeys on the internet, I guess we've pretty much proved that the end result of this random tapping won't be a work by Shakespeare.. I still don't know why every simpleton feels they are obliged to espouse their naive assertions on the internet or youtube. Why make a fool of yourself publicly?

I love the responses from butthurt keynesians. All they can really do is make cheap ad hominem attacks/appeals to authority.

And for that, you deserve a thumbs up ;)

[dsruggles]

And you have credentials to make arbitrary statements about Krugman? You can't even complete a sentence without using the word "like" 15 times.

@youkoshi

1. No one cares how you pronounce Krugman.

2. You are a pompous prick.  There is no reason to think that your little comment will actually have any effect whatsoever on the world. Why do it then? To satisfy your need to feel special in the face of the overwhelming fact that you obviously don't know shit about economics, spelling, or punctuation. (I know the last two were low blows for a YouTube comments box, but I couldn't resist.)

3. Read a book.

@pretorious700 Support your strong statement with strong fact, please.

[pretorious700]

@genxtargetmarket Krugman has been wrong about everything, and he gets WRONGER every day.

[genxtargetmarket]

So, Krugman is an economic novice then? What are your credentials? Also, Krugman is correct!

There are so many lies on this video, even Fox News would blush. First, there was no "second new deal." LOL. In 1937 (Krugman is right) FDR did cave to conservatives and cut government investment drastically in order to balance the budget. This led to a mini-depression until we started building up for the war. FDR didn't take office until 1933...this guy claims in was 1932. Again, the U.S did NOT always have a balanced budget!!! FDR ran deficits 33-37 and it worked!
