Dude, you're a knob.

Soros aka "Spooky Dude" is a bad joke. This left wing, socialist, one world er is a threat to this once great republic. The left wing loons that fall into this criminal are as responsible as he is for our current decline. Soros has left his stamp on every diabolical, socialist movement in this country.

God bless America, God save this once great republic and God save Israel.

Rubini and Krugman touch on some very good points, but I think Soros and Ferguson understand better how the markets work. In fact, Soros has a track record of beating the market and Ferguson represents a refreshing and contrarian view.

Bush was the biggest regulator since Nixon (who we all know was a massive regulator instituting wage and price controls, abolition of the gold standard, the clean air act, the war on cancer, the war on drugs, the EPA etc...).

I feel your pain Niall, how easily people forget about stagflation. Guaranteed it was a lot worse to be in 1970s Britain than 1970s USA as the US dealt with their problem faster.

Wow they were such assholes to Niall.

What Soros said was so stupid. He said Gold was a bubble (its now $1270) and not to buy it which contradicts with what he said here which was that when you see a bubble you jump on the bandwagon.

If Roubini wants to stop excessive credit growth then we need to start regulating the Fed which has too much autonomy atm. Also do something about FRB (which Friedman and Stigler were against).

Wow what Krugman said about the Financial Sector was so stupid. I really expected better from him.

@MrLukasart reflexivity is a joke and so is Soros.

@fathead8489 Hows that "hope" and "change" working out for you? The lefties are just naive as the righties.

[bonfirejovi]

@fathead8489 Na Keynesian economics = 1970s Britain which is almost as bad.

[bonfirejovi]

@SwedxSimon02 Niall Ferguson is not for free markets you dolt. Krudman and Soros on the other hand represent the failed regulatory and government fundamentalism that led to stagflation with 30% inflation in the UK. Krudman doesn't engage in economic debate so much using pop economics to please the class warfare lefties who seem to have forgotten the 70s. He relies on the conjecture inherent in Keynesian economics. If you think we have had free markets since WIlson then you need help.
