I'm starting to like Paul Krugman more and more as time goes on.Today's NYT:
Republicans are now posing as staunch defenders of a program they have hated ever since the days when Ronald Reagan warned that Medicare would destroy America's freedom.
Nor is it even the fact that, as House speaker, Mr. Gingrich personally tried to ram through deep cuts in Medicare - and, in 1995, went so far as to shut down the federal government in an attempt to bully Bill Clinton into accepting those cuts.
After all, you could explain this about-face by supposing that Republicans have had a change of heart, that they have finally realized just how much good Medicare does.
And if you believe that, I've got some mortgage-backed securities you might want to buy.
No, what's truly mind-boggling is this: Even as Republicans denounce modest proposals to rein in Medicare's rising costs, they are, themselves, seeking to dismantle the whole program.
Yeha didn't he win some award and isn't he a professor and much more educated than most/all on here criticizing him?
Yep just diss experts and let Joe the Plumber run our economy
COLBERT: How many employees do you, Paul Krugman have?
KRUGMAN: Um, I have
COLBERT: Have you ever created one job?
KRUGMAN: Um, I have
COLBERT: Have you ever run one business?
KRUGMAN: No.
COLBERT: So much as a hot dog stand?
KRUGMAN: No. In fact, I have not.
COLBERT: So you are a theoretician.
KRUGMAN: This is true.
COLBERT: So you are like a theologian, okay?
KRUGMAN: Right.
COLBERT: A theologian can write about martyrdom, but only the martyr goes into the fire. True?
KRUGMAN: Yes.

Not being a Progressive, I can't truly address your idiocy...but I can thank you for acknowledging my statement, wich infers I do not always like, agree with or worship Paul Krugman.Yeah, It's really cute when you progressives find a new idol to worship, after all Marx, Mao, Castro, Wilson, FDR, Chavez and Obama must get old after a while.I really am starting to like this guy...at least lately I am

why did you quit quoting before you got to this?
KRUGMAN: Um, you know, business got us into this, right?
COLBERT: Then they can get us out. They know the way. [Laughter] They go back up that slippery slope. That's where we came down.
KRUGMAN: There's a line actually that some of us use. You know, you do need people who know where the bodies are buried and maybe the best people are the people who put the bodies there. [Audience moans.] But I think not quite in this case.

Krugman has written books so he is at least as smart as Palin
Yea but anyone with common sense knows that Krugman is a Lunatic Liberal Nutter. He falls under Gollum Emanuel's wise assessment..."Liberal activists are F*cking Retards." Well said Mr. Emanuel.
The first page is filled with Krugman's analysis, yet all we mostly get to read is shit talking RWL crap?I would agree with him on this one. I think the only reason republicans are defending Medicare now is because of the high elderly population that is now claiming benefits from it or is about to. That demographic always comes out to vote, so having them in your corner is a good thing politically. If they can successfully pull off the image of being defenders of Medicare against the Democrats who want to cut it, then that could help out in the upcoming election.
Yep, it's hypocritical, but you can more than expect that from both parties when it's convenient for them before or during an election.
Krugman knows about how bidness works in Actual Reality as much as Charles Barkley can tell me about downhill skiing.

Well apparently those far more educated and experienced than you disagree with your assesment.
Naw, It's more fun pointing out how Mr. "I ain't a progressive" keeps collecting progressive idols to fawn over, not to mention I stopped paying any attention to anything that Krugman had to say years ago, after all one can only tolerate so much Keynesian nonsense and partisan pom-pom waving from a man that should know better.And why wouldn't you? after all he's a hyper-partisan progressive that's gone off the Keynesian Deep End, just like you.
Try Refuting Krugman...If you can.
