I do heartily enjoy seeing things like this. http://business.financialpost.com/2012/06/08/paul-krugman-gets-blasted-on-twitter-by-president-of-estonia/ (http://business.financialpost.com/2012/06/08/paul-krugman-gets-blasted-on-twitter-by-president-of-estonia/)
Krugman has the temerity to suggest that Estonia's "incomplete recovery" is hardly an economic triumph, yet I'm sure he parrots the media nonsense about "The Recovery (TM)" of Obamanomics.

It will be more than a little satisfying listening to (or reading) Krugman for the next four years describe how Romney is doing it wrong, how it will never work, etc. while the economy roars back to life.
I have no idea what course Romney will steer the economy by but anything will be better than what we are currently experiencing. That said, I will give credit to Romney for probably being able to do the money thing correctly even if he screws up other issues. He has a track record with the money thing.
Krugman is supposed to be a smart guy in economics but I have yet to see or hear anything that lends any credence to that notion.

Krugman is the source of that idiocy. He is revered by the Left for his Nobel Prize in Economics, which I would remind was awarded to our very own Preznident as well~for his skin color.

Awarded by those in an echo chamber using group think mentality. The really smelly thing is, they can't peel themselves away from it long enough to realize their collective error. I would recommend public execution for about 75% of these treacherous assholes forcing the remainder in to indefinite hiding. ::thumbsup::

The award for "smart guy" in economics comes from his fellow Keynesians, all equally ignorant. We'd be better off listening to what they say and doing exactly the opposite.
F'g "eggsperts". ::snort::

Kruggie is an avowed Neo-Keynesian who would trample his own mother if she got in the way, and they are all running us into the ground...just keep your lists updated, don't leave any off now!
;)

Poor Kruggie gettin' no love lately...and it is well deserved. His "the solution to the debt issue is more debt" idiocy is reaping just rewards.

I've recently come to this idea that the best word for the Left's entire worldview is "feudal", or "medieval". Their economic ideas are neo-feudal, in the way they want to have the economy anchored in the State (king) and certain credentialed, initiated cronies (vassals). One of the major ingredients in the end of medieval feudalism was the rise of the mercantile class of free commoners and yeomen. I think a lot of the sneering contempt for "flyover country" is rooted in that same mentality, an almost astonished bewilderment that we are not their bonded serfs. Virtually all of the Left's economic efforts are in some ways an attempt to revive a feudal arrangement.
To use another medieval analogy, the "solution to the debt is more debt" idiocy is not unlike the medieval concept of bloodletting. "We drained a pint of blood and he got worse; clearly we need to drain two more!"
-
Interesting analogy. Of course it would have to be a evil fuedal empire, there are no benevolent and wise kings in Leftardland...let alone the existence of chivalry...but yeah, I can latch onto that description of them.
