For Darla... three articles on Krugman from Huffpost...

The boards biggest baby killer supporter and genetic science denier whining over her idiot left wing 'economist' being bashed and then trying to change the topic of the thread.

The dozy broad only last year was telling us that Hurricane Sandy was absolute evidence of climate change. Ask her how many hurricanes there have been this year? Not once has any of the climate alarmists on here ever even acknowledged that there has been a hiatus for the last seventeen years in global temperatures. Even the IPCC has done that but they say the heat has all gone into the oceans without the slightest evidence to justify that assertion.
 
What I find most odd is how Ferguson pretends that the Krugman column from August 10, 2007 doesn't exist:

Maybe Ferguson was too busy patting himself on the back.

Perhaps it is because it is irrelevant to Fergusons points which basically argue that Krugman is an economic Buffon who preaches the myth of Big Government deficit spending to buy our way put of recessions which has been proven to be a historic failure; as recently as 2009.

If this article is correct, it merely speaks to what any rational economic mind would/should have gleaned from a fed policy of fiscally irresponsible loose money. Bernancke should have been hung by his finger nails.

I know, Bush made him do it. :rolleyes:
 
Yeah, they came in a bunch of colors, also suede. I needed burgundy, too. They're Sam Edelman. The back detail is really nice.

Oh man Sam Edelman I am jealous. I bought a pair of Vince Camuto black suede pumps yesterday. They are a very comfortable heel height, 3 inches. Perfect for business. I do need some new boots this year though. I am waiting to get to the outlets. When they do the Coach coupon is when I'll go. It's only a few more weeks.

There is nothing wrong with deficit spending in a recession, that is classic Keynesian theory. However it is the other part where he said that the debt should be paid down when times are good that politicians have a hard time dealing with.

They were on the 4 or 5 payment plan so you know how that goes!

A few weeks ago I got some Vince Camuto perfume after trying the tester. It'll be nice for winter.

Oh did you get them at our place where we got the Steve Maddens? I have to check them out then!

This is pretty funny and more than slightly ironic. ID and USloyal used to do much the same thing as you are doing now. I doubt that you will see the irony though.

We don't care about those skanks. All they talked about was how much money they spent, the three of us are into getting bargains.

I disagree with the premise that deficit spending during recessions is good policy; you touched on part of the reason regarding payback. However, any time you artificially attempt to interfere with markets, those attempts lead to greater market distortions and behavior leading to unintended worse consequences. The recent mortgage market implosion was a prime example of such misplaced economic theories.

It is the same reason any attempts to "manage" economies have ended in disaster by 3rd world regimes and Communist dictatorships. It is an arrogant proposition tantamount to those who think they can "manage" the climate.

How has printing trillions of US dollars improved our economy? How did it improve the Venezuelan economy? All it does is make everyone poorer.

During my college years, Keynesian theory had been pretty much tabled as a sound policy and only taught as a lesson for what not to do.
 
The above is precisely the nonsense that Krugmanites display time and again. Attacks on Ferguson and now on me. All because Darla cannot refute anything that was written in the articles. Typical liberal nonsense.

What makes you think she or anyone else would even waste time reading this pablum let alone Refuting it. Anyone who thinks that the administration has been following Krugman's plan has not read enough Krugman. I wouldn't waste my time with Ferguson, he's a hack adn a pretty worthless one at that, but I have read all of Krugman's mainstream writing (not all his academic writing) since Fuzzy Math (2000) and he is not going to pigeonholed by the likes of Niall Ferguson. But for those who haven't read Krugman, they might think Ferguson actually knows something. It's been demonstrated on numerous occasions that he is a hack. You have said absolutely nothing here to lead me to believe you have even read these three essays and certainly nothing to convince me that Ferguson isn't up to his usual level of hackery here!
