1 SNL Takes A Shot at The TSA

2 We really dropped the ball in allowing that whole "death panel" meme to gain ground.

Now, how to get out of this pickle? A combination of the VAT tax and death panels.

3 You lost me at "Krugman."

4 In the Land of the Ignorantly Insane, the sane retard is king

wait,is that how it goes?  No?  Well, that's how it goes these days.........

We're being governed by total idiots mixed in with leftist fanatics bent on 'transforming' our economic system and social order.

If the Repub House doesn't stop / defund this catastrophe, it's time for Harper's Ferry

5 Truman: as holistic a pseudo economist as they come...

6 Krugman: as holistic a pseudo economist as they come..

7 1 SNL Takes A Shot at The TSA

The Video right beneath that video better be the proverbial straw.  I'm hoping the next video that comes out about the TSA is a mob attacking them.  Where does it go from here?  We're way past the point of infringing on civil liberties.  This is obscene.

I remember reading Krugman during the Bush years, and he was making a huge point of (the out of context, but stupid) comment by Cheney that 'deficits don't really matter'.. and how Bush was selling out our grandkids with that years ENORMOUS $250 billion deficit..

Now, Obama is running $1.4 TRILLION deficits year after year and he thinks Obama isn't spending nearly enough.. and that Tea partiers are racists for wanting to hold off on the insane spending..  OK.  GOT IT.  This dudes a piker.  He'd be fishing for cans in the dumpster if his daddy didn't pay for his education.   He also loved that old MOVE-ON video that ran during the superbowl ~ 2004 or so about Bush's reckless spending that showed little kids working on cars and stuff.. hehe oh the irony

 

Ya see, people pay attention to Krugman because he's got that 'economist' title after his name.. In the same way that wack-jobs pay attention to the idiot 'Nuclear Physicist' who seriously thinks aliens are being kept at area 51 and are designing our newest stealth fighter out of ufo technology. 

 

Krugman has abused his title and other awards in favor of being an unhinged partisan.  He's the tv commentator version of the guy who blew away his tv with a shotgun because Bristol Palin won some stupid reality show.  (which btw Geraldo is having a special about how the teaparty is unfairly voting... or something.. no shit.  I've never seen this jerk so concerned about voting before)

10 One sentence Paul Krugman bio: An economist of some note before he went batshit crazy.

 9 In the same way that wack-jobs pay attention to the idiot 'Nuclear Physicist' who seriously thinks aliens are being kept at area 51 and are designing our newest stealth fighter out of ufo technology.

That would be Stanton Friedman.

12 Krugman ceased being an "economist" long ago (if he ever was one). Somewhere along the line he became a communist. No communist State has ever produced a reputable "economist".

Nobody believes a single word Krugman says about anything dealing with economics. In fact, nobody believes anything Krugman says about anything period. So why are we even talking about him?

13 #12  Nobody believes a single word Krugman says about anything dealing with economics. In fact, nobody believes anything Krugman says about anything period. So why are we even talking about him?

I like talking about him only as a cautionary tale.  Krugman is intelligent, but his intelligence has morphed into what the late Michael Crichton would call "thinktelligence".  That is, Krugman has this small little box that he contorts facts and observations into and then calls it "thinking broadly". 

Didn't Krudman once claim to be stalked by Donald Luskin?

14 Remember the disgraced racist black woman who was mistakenly fore based on Breitbart's racism. Remember the case in which she bilked the government out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in bogus civil suit awards based on lies. Recall that the case was reopened because they ran out of money to pay more of the bogus awards. Remember that the wonderful DOJ "settled" without even going to court. Remember that these cases included "blacks who were discriminated against" because they didn't get loans to farm their family plot graveyards in the back yard?

Well Harry Reid and the Senate in one of their final acts approved more money for this crooked scheme hatched by the CBC.

The U.S. Senate yesterday approved spending $4.6 billion to settle two lawsuits: one by black farmers who alleged racial discrimination by government lenders and the other by 300,000 American Indians who said they had been cheated out of land royalties dating to 1887.

One wonders the outrage is a CWC dreamed up a phony scheme of whites who were discriminated against and a white DOJ refused to even fight the case in court and settled.

Hey, I covered my swimming pool and planted grass on top of it. The government refused to give me a farming loan. Where is my $40,000 settlement?

Link via Drudge, Tiny URL appears to be down this morning.

15 Correction: who was mistakenly fore FIRED based...

LOL,now that is some typo.

I have never understood his thesis that government spending lots and lots and lots and lots of bucks it doesn't have is somehow a cure for the problems created by people spending lots and lots and lots and lots of bucks they don't have.

This is what passes for Nobel-level economic analysis.

17 Listening to economists like Krugman is like relying on astrologers and witch doctors, and I say that with no regard for distinction between Economics theories or schools of thought. They are all arcane theory that look good on paper, but the slightest disruptions renders the most impressive models worthless.  The fact that any of these charlatans are listened to, not just Krugman, is another bit of evidence that the  experienced political class are clueless and out of touch.

18

Krugman is also the creator of what I call the O.A.R.S.B. - the Obligatory Anti-Republican Snark Bark.  It used to occur as a line within the first three paragraphs of every column, regardless of what he was writing about. Every column.  Always left me wondering "what the hell did THAT have to do with your topic?"  But there it was.  I figure it was either in his contract, or that he suffers from some sort of arcane Tourette's Syndrome. 

Of late, though, the OARSB has overtaken his entire column.  It's scary. I don't know what he'll do if Bristol Palin wins.

19 "KrugmanÂ’s unyielding defense of Keynesian economics"

I would say Krugman doesn't know beans about Keynes.  Keynes suggested that an economy run a surplus in good times and bank that surplus to use for deficit spending during hard times.  Keynes does NOT suggest that a country should go into debt for the sake of deficit spending.  The disconnect between the liberals and Keynes is that they (the liberals) tend to support Keynesian policy when it suits them and ignore it when it doesn't.  The liberals only support the "deficit spending" portion of Keynesian economics and not the "banking the surplus" portion.

20 What's the big deal about debt? We only owe it to ourselves hostile Red Chicoms!

21 Real economic theory is actually very simple. It only has two rules:

1. Stuff is always worth what people are willing to pay for it.

2. Any nation's economy is always inversely proportional to the government interference in that economy.

22 @22: Don't forget, 3. The only thing government "grows" is Debt.

23 Keynes is only popular on the Left because he can be used as a justification for statism.

24 3. The only thing government "grows" is Debt. Government.

FTFY

25 @24: That's funny! Global Warming BS is only popular on the Left because it can be used to justify statism. Come to think of it, stem cell research only captured the Left's imagination because of its link to abortion! Nuclear Winter hysteria only took hold of the Left because it fit their anti-Reagan agenda! I think I detect a "scientific" pattern here...

26 The think that cracks me up about Krugman is that he just "looks" like a Marxist.  The gray hair, the scraggly beard, the puffy eyes.  I think the ONLY reason anyone pays any attention to him at all is that he won the Nobel Prize (which, of course is a liberal prize given by liberals to liberals for being liberal).

Is there a prize for ALWAYS being wrong?  I mean,even a person with a natural tendency to be wrong is right occasionally purely by accident; however, Krugman manages to get it wrong every single time.

Perhaps we'll call it the "Contrarian Award" since he is the best contrarian indicator going.

27 What a REAL economist has to say about Krugman (he says he reads the guy, and so do his fellow economists, but when passing along links they always preface them with "Krugman is evil.")  Thing is, the guy REALLY isn't an economist - he's a pundit.  http://mises.org/daily/1318

Ya see, people pay attention to Krugman because he's got that 'economist' title after his name.

If you really want to know how to fix society, ask a linguist.

29 I'm sorry, but it's "toe the line", not "tow..."

30

This is what passes for Nobel-level economic analysis.

Works for me.

31

Krugman's Nobel Prize doesn't mean that much unless he has an Oscar and a Grammy to go with it.

32 Heh, I wasn't even gonna go there with the "toe" the line thing.   Since the rest of the post is so good and all.

33 I really expected him to attack Bristol Palin. LOL!

34 Interview with Peter Schiff, earlier this year. Interviewer: "Paul Krugman says he is a student of the Great Depression." Schiff: "If I was Paul Krugman's professor I would have flunked him." ---------------- This dispshit "learned" all the wrong lessons. He ignores the earlier recession of 1920, which started out much worse and ended without any intervention, thanks to the government staying the hell out of it. Krugman is simply a leading indicator of what not to do. He is not just spectacularly wrong. He is wrong on everything. If he says we should inflate, we should deflate. If he orders the clams, take the mussels. Reading this guy--and believing him--is why so many erstwhile intellectual readers of the Slimes have no understanding of economics at all. We should really bomb the Ivy League until it looks like Dresden. Rottenest termite factory the world has ever seen.

35

Hey, Paul, we heard you got the Nobel Prize in economics. So did several of us. Come join us! With three Nobel Laureates in economics, we won't fuck up this time, and we'll actually make the money our theories said we would! Yeah, baby!

36

former Fed Chair, Alan Greenspan, the bubble master himself, testified before congress . . . and through all of his nice sounding words finally admitted that he made erroneous, “assumptions” about the “models” used when analyzing the risk of financial derivatives.

* * * * *

Tells you everything you need to know about so-called economic geniuses like Krugman and Bernanke.  We should trust them to get us out of this mess, even though they were the same morons who created the very conditions that got us into this mess in the first place.

When the country is burning down and people need wheelbarrows full of dollars to buy a cup of water, Krugman and Bernanke will be telling us how they, too, made erroneous assumptions about the models they used when analyzing the risks of multi-trillion-dollar deficit spending and quantitative easing.  (But hey, it wasn't their fault.  Their basic underlying theory was sound, they'll assure us, it was just that some of the models needed tweaking!  And don't worry, we'll get it right next time -- cause we're just that much smarter and better than you.  Console yourselves with that thought while you scrounge for food and try to ward off the hordes approaching what used to be your property.)

37 By the way, is this "axis" talk an allusion to Adolf Hitler or John Butcher?
