The Power Of Paul Krugman

[Synthaholic]

Conservatives constantly try to diminish Professor Krugman's influence and importance*, but when he speaks, people listen.

Trump Is Right on Economics

Mr. Bush, in particular, may pose as a reasonable, thoughtful type — credulous reporters even describe him as a policy wonk — but his actual economic platform, which relies on the magic of tax cuts to deliver a doubling of America’s growth rate, is pure supply-side voodoo.

And here’s what’s interesting: all indications are that Mr. Bush’s attacks on Mr. Trump are falling flat, because the Republican base doesn’t actually share the Republican establishment’s economic delusions.

The thing is, we didn’t really know that until Mr. Trump came along. The influence of big-money donors meant that nobody could make a serious play for the G.O.P. nomination without pledging allegiance to supply-side doctrine, and this allowed the establishment to imagine that ordinary voters shared its antipopulist creed.

Paul "wrong in the trillions column" Krugman

I am not a Con, but I sure know that Krudman is utterly ignorant.

A big gov loving statist warmonger Keynesian fool. Sadly too many of the power elite are just like him.

The Media listens... That's all.

May as well call this thread "the brilliance of Synthaholic".

Krugman is a typical liberal idiot. If anything in that article made sense tell us what or admit you are a typical cut and paste liberal monkey.
