TPMtv: A Chat with Paul Krugman

On Monday we sat down (virtually) with the New York Times oped page's Paul Krugman to talk about his new book, The Conscience of a Liberal, what it's like being 'radicalized' by the Bush administration and what he thinks the "big stand up and cheer moment" of the 2008 campaign has been so far.

I agree with clat1. He makes sense. Bill Clinton brought us NAFTA and we kissed our jobs away.

Paul Krugman was right. He doubted his own prediction in this video but it turned out true.

@subframer Aren't you a little tough guy

[pretorious700]

Krugman is a statist assclown, panderer to power, and a piece of shit.

@peppythepanda so much for credibility...

[subframer]

krugman is a hyper-partisan, and a smarmy a-hole. i'd pay for the chance to knock his little ass out.....

@islandmuffin Wow really, you can do better than that. Going around posting the same comment on Paul Krugman's videos. Come up with your own arguments.

@peppythepanda Study finds Paul Krugman is the most partisan economist. Krugman was the only economist to "significantly" change his stances for partisan reasons. Krugman has even gone so far as to contradict his own findings to bash Republican politicians. - Brett Barkley, Econ Journal Watch, May 2010

Nope not gonna happen

I don't know what you are talking about-globalization helped destroy labor,environmental and human rights standards in industry and Krugman was the biggest cheerleader for our free trade deals.

Plus this stupid fuck doesn't mention the dollars plummet in value because he supported the policies that made it happen-I hope he and Tom Friedman and Lester Thurow have coronaries during their group gay sex sessions.
