Dr. Paul Krugman owns the fuck out of Rep. Ron Paul

Misleading title.

1 star and suggest unpin.

not in a recession? lol.... and he quotes some govt source for gdp? what about 25% unemployment figures? what about M3 levels still atrophying? and home prices hitting decades old lows? LOL

wonkiboy? why play the clown?

I swear, some people would let a banker literally crap into their mouth if one of the major brainwashing news networks said it was good for them and only crazy people didn't consume a daily intake of bank crap.

GLP members own the fuck out of Wonkish. I am a liberal by the way, but I support Ron Paul. Any self respecting liberal should. Ending wars and cutting from the top instead of the bottom? Sounds good to me.

oh.. and what about the $1.3 trillion in excess reserves that the banks are sitting on and the fed is paying them not to loan money to americans? almost like they are intentionally suffocating the economy.

Depression (economics)


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The stock market crash of 1929 marked the start of the greatest depression in modern history with some effects felt through 1945.
In economics, a depression is a sustained, long-term downturn in economic activity in one or more economies. It is a more severe downturn than a recession, which is seen by some economists as part of the modern business cycle.

Considered, by some economists, a rare and extreme form of recession, a depression is characterized by its length, by abnormally large increases in unemployment, falls in the availability of credit— often due to some kind of banking or financial crisis, shrinking output—as buyers dry up and suppliers cut back on production, and investment, large number of bankruptcies—including sovereign debt defaults, significantly reduced amounts of trade and commerce—especially international, as well as highly volatile relative currency value fluctuations—most often due to devaluations. Price deflation, financial crises and bank failures are also common elements of a depression that are not normally a part of a recession.

JFK and Lincoln never did any such thing.
I don't know where you get your disinformation.


Read some Krugman articles and until then STFU!!!!

Krugman, who appears to be a timid little mouse in most interviews, is going to get bitch slapped for suggesting the people "barter". We all know the elite don't want people bartering because trading without the use of the federal reserve notes is basically stealing since the fed doesnt get their cut.

:whogivesafuck:

:benpalm:

We are not in a depression or a recession. God you are fucking retarded.

And this is exactly what must be done, I use my dollars to get me away from them as soon as I can.

FACT: You are absolutely stupid if you believe those cooked numbers.

Come on, how gullible can you be? How do you make it through life so gullible?

The depression of 1920 ended within one year because the US government did not increase spending. It did nothing.

The Great Depression lasted 12 long years because the US government attempted to stimulate a recovery through new programs with heavy borrowing and spending. It ended after WWII when spending and taxes were cut.

In the 1950's, Japan's banking sector collapsed. The government allowed the banks to fail and liquidate. Japan recovered vigorously soon after.

In the 1990's, after their stock and real estate collapse, Japan began spending enormous sums and running massive deficits, bailing out banks and building bridges to nowhere.

Japan is STILL in deep recession after 25 years of massive fiscal stimulus!

Paul Krugman is deceitful, self-righteous, hack. He has said that government should "seize the commanding heights of the economy."

Krugman simply wants the private sector to whither and die, and the Federal government to grow ever larger and more powerful.

Ron Paul clearly won this debate/economical conversation.
You are clearly not as economically sqaured away as you think you are.

AC 778 for the win!!

look, mommy, it's that unemployed guy we saw last week! looks like the corporate interests finally got around to exploiting him and putting him back to work!

Krugman has been strongly attacking Obama and ESPECIALLY Bernanke. He's accused him of being assimilated by the Borg.

But you wouldn't know that, being an opinionated, uninformed jackass.

DITTO

for later dissection and translation for the LLF's

Agreed.
Great analysis and truth AC 778.

The government PRODUCES nothing....they only can spend taxpayer $$$....therefore it's a ride to the bottom and nothing more.
...as Japan has found out from the last 25 years.

Krugman is a kook and partisan hack.

Thank you.

History proves that government 'stimulus' is a fraud that extends human suffering. The powerful interests who sell 'stimulus' are after one thing only: diverting the energy and labor of society from serving real wants and needs to serving political wants and needs.

Stimulus = Slavery

This post is disingenuous because the reason Krugman is attacking Bernanke is because Krugman feels that Bernanke hasn't printed enough money. Krugman wants much higher inflation than we currently have.

No, he's related to Jason Voorhees !

They ALWAYS have to lie and spin don't they?
The Liberals / Socialists / Commies can never tell the truth.


Disgusting.

You are the best moderator this forum has ever seen. Not sure where you came from but I remember saying "who the fuck is this asshole?".

Well you are a voice of reason.

I support Ron Paul on foreign policy, a lot of social issues, free markets, pro-capitalism, but his advocacy for our renunciation of the world's reserve currency and going back to the gold standard is utter fucking madness.

+1 Wonkish, +1.
