This Week-Paul Krugman: Public Option opponent's arguments are "sheer nonsense"

Krugman takes 1930s economic ideas blows off the dust and tries to peddle them as some how relevant

Good. Private insurance only gives the illusion of medical care. They will pull coverage the moment someone is seriously ill.

We really fucked up revolting against King George. Any chance you would take us back into the British Empire?

And every crisis is an excuse to give more money to the richest people. No one believed giving money to the banks would somehow magically make them make loans again. They used most of it to buy distressed assets and pay bonuses, further hurting the vast majority of Americans.

The arguments against the public option are not pure nonsense. Harvard economist Martin Feldstein has said that over the next decade the total cost would be closer to $2 trillion dollars. This is on top of a $3 trillion dollar Iraq war, $700 billion bailouts, $760 billion stimulus bill, and a war in Afganistan that might go on forever. I used to support the public option but now I realize America is going to be bankrupt in the future if we continue on this path.

Republicans do not have a shred of logic on their side, but they still have incredible power based on pushing the "hate" and "fear" buttons of their idiot base.

Dude .... SO TRUE..... that's the only thing they have ... the right side just uses fear... BECAUSE they have no other argument for this failed system.... OR any solution...

lol, and you base this very 'rational' argument on what exactly? You sound to me like an emotional twat with your head in the clouds.. It is the liberals who are the true idiots, who have no regard for the constituition. Instead they're all give me give me, what I didn't work for

LOL, you said "twat", he he. Sorry, you are the emo bitch. You probably don't understand it yourself. You are Christian because you are afraid to die, understandable. You are probably also afraid of the vastness of the universe (I may be giving you too much intellectual credit on that one). You cling to your "god" because you are a chicken shit pussy afraid of the dark. You will sell out your grandma and all integrity to keep this delusion in order to not shit your pants in abject fear.

I'm not religious dumbass. Oh look, what a sight, another liberal douchebag who thinks he actually has anything to offer intellectually. Don't use your conventional dumbshit wisdom on me, pathetic loser. Liberals are so fucking dumb I can't stand it, ooh, and so narrowminded, they have no selfrespect, no value to anyone, and still expect to have all these 'rights' to other people's productivity.

I say it is you who are living in the dark, fucking bastard, nothing but a leech
