How many times do you have to be told not to take the brown acid?

So we not only get your usual attack on the source and not the arguments, we get an attack on the Original Poster and a Show & Tell of Baruch's English Skill...an English Lesson?AND still no repudation of WHAT Krugman said.
I am becoming more convinced he is correct.
But what did he say? If you try and pull an argument out of the OP you get air. It is just like a Dante post.. There are words and they are arranged into grammatical sentences, but as for real discussion, all you have is hot corrosive wind.
It is like building mad libs from refrigerator magnets. We will put Republican at the end of the sentence, put a pejorative adjective in front of that, arrange a predicate, find a animate noun for the subject, and hey, we got a Krugman/Dante argument.
Like so:
"Soybeans are oppressed by homophobic Republicans."
That has the same degree of rationality as what was posted at the front of the topic.

I place most of the blame on the Federal Reserve, these bubbles that burst never would have inflated had it not been for ridiculously low interest rates, blaming the free market where there is no true free market is ludicrous and blaming banks and private industries instead of the monetary policies is akin to ...
...passing out "Sugar Daddies" and Coca Colas to a kindergarten class and then blaming the children for the sugar rush.![]()
Your Free Market would have NO regulation. Now that is
Free Marketeers who hide every failed Free Market concept or policy behind your kind of thinking are Clowns in search of a Circus.
Blaming the industry for their unrestrained greed is responsible.
Giving industry a pass becaue you believe in an imaginary 'invisible hand' is pathetic. There is NO invisible hand.
We have people who worked with derivatives and morgtages laughing at others who bought what they knew was garbage.
and the meltdown had more to do with the Markets lacking regulation (which you admit/infer) than not.....and the meltdown was caused by more than morgtages and Fed rates
Wow...You came up with a new, albeit pretty wimpy, insult!How many times do you have to be told not to take the brown acid?
USMB's Frank Burns stand in (Mash), character utters yet another of his dopey nitwitticisms?
go figure

I apologize for paying less than full attention to you post. This thread has been so filled with idiocies that I did a diservice to your honest effort.I place most of the blame on the Federal Reserve, these bubbles that burst never would have inflated had it not been for ridiculously low interest rates, blaming the free market where there is no true free market is ludicrous and blaming banks and private industries instead of the monetary policies is akin to ...

Where did you get that my free market would have no regulation? You speak of talking points by many here but you make talking points, name some regulations that would have prevented the bubbles from happening or bursting since derivatives made up less than 1% of the losses.
AND still no repudation of WHAT Krugman said.
I am becoming more convinced he is correct.

So you are saying interest rates are to blame ''most'' for the financial crisis....maybe the crisis would not have happened if interest rates were higher?... he mentions Clinton's penis and places no blame on banks and lenders. Another Free Marketeer spouting...Don't blame private industry, blame the regulators.
I place most of the blame on the Federal Reserve, these bubbles that burst never would have inflated had it not been for ridiculously low interest rates,..
This is where I saw the invisible hand of lunacy. As long as there is one regulation some will argue there is NO free market....blaming the free market where there is no true free market is ludicrous...
Putting responsibility for actions at the doors of private enterprise is what I advocate. Principles of behavior and more can guide an industry. An unmitigated pursuit of profits..greed at all costs...is anathema to a healthy economy. Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs because one has a sudden hunger for fowl, is unwise....and blaming banks and private industries instead of the monetary policies is akin to passing out "Sugar Daddies" and Coca Colas to a kindergarten class and then blaming the children for the sugar rush.![]()
another love letter? you're hanging around with that Dopey Dude again, aren't ya?How many times do you have to be told not to take the brown acid?

Sorry Dante as usual .....

I have been following a bit of what Krugman has been saying for the last sveral years.
in my opinion he does not have everything correct.
One thing iin his favor with me is he did start seeing the system falling apart before most of the right wing oriented ones did. He has been pretty close on it's effects and cuase and effect as well.
Now with the right haviing difficulty in defeating his statements...
Well... that just gives more evidence in my opinion that he is closer to correct than the right wingers are.

And that has the validity of the hypochondriac`s tombstone `See, I told you I was sick!`
He has been predicting gloom, doom and disaster from day one, but he was a big supporter of the cause of the disaster as a good thing. Whenever anyone suggested fixing Fannie or Freddie or the whole sub prime mess, he was the first in the chorus going `Racist!`

Thats a common technique.
Krugman should know all about hypocrisy.

I issue you the same challenge I gave Dante.... Find an actual thesis and argument that we can discuss beyond the level of `Republicans are _______________` (Fill in pejorative de jour. )
Until then, I will respond in kind. Paul Krugman is a Sirocco... A hot dry desert wind that goes on forever and makes for madness.
