Sweet sharing. Thanks

DeLong demonstrates that intelligence and education do not preclude holding cartoonish opinions about one's political opponents.

DeLong is a crazy babbling fool

"Points of equilibrium" et al. Gobbeldygook. DeLong and many other "centrist" or pragmatic economists are professional obfuscationists. That's where the money is in a government that wants to grow over time.

Those of us who stand off to the side are considered the quacks.
