@N1KOplayground Wow! It's true.

The "Murphy-Krugman Debate" (google it) has already raised over $50k in donations!!!

All money will be donated to the NYC food bank. So support a good cause and pledge some money. You will not be billed unless/until the debate happens.

Whichever side you agree with, you should support this debate. It will be very entertaining and enlightening to say the least.

@Giantsg7 He wasn't saying Greenspan SHOULD create a bubble, he was saying Greenspan WOULD create a bubble.  He was predicting it, not suggesting it, and he was correct.

Hey Peter Schiff

That's pretty funny. Only the thought of Paul Krugman being Secretary of Treasury is funnier. Mr. Krugman is consistent in his ability to say the most idiotic and retarded things, but kudos for consistency!

@crunkycrunker That's right, you need to also comprehend Krugmans words (as spoken on his blog, "Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble."

[crunkycrunker]

@jjenson2006 A little reading comprehension also goes a long way.  Better luck next time.

@crunkycrunker

A little research goes a long way.

See Krugmans article, "Dubya's Double Dip"

"To fight this recession the Fed needs more than a snapback; it needs soaring household spending to offset moribund business investment. And to do that, as Paul McCulley of Pimco put it, Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble."

@dabassist88 You think Geithner and Krugman are like minded? LOL.

Ah yes, what we have here is a classic case of Hipster-itis. Characterized by stupid clothing and a pretentious pseudo-artistry. Symptoms include philosophical and political delusions, as illustrated by the infamous Obama epidemic of 2008 in which thousands or college-age youths lost their marbles. The only known cure for Hipster-itis is to forgive that guy that whooped your ass and made fun of you throughout high school, so you can get on with your life.
