Krugman Nails GOP Lunatic Hypocrisy

[Procrustes Stretched]

Without Googling, I recall that Newt wanted to slow the growth and the LMSM called that a "CUT"

Because it was a cut. If you reduce the rate of increase to below the rate of inflation, that's a cut in real terms. If it cost you every dollar you made to live, and then the next year, you made $1.02, but your cost of living went up to $1.05, you'd be seeing a reduction in what you could afford even though your income increased. Same principle at play here.

Yeah...and these same folks will say Reagan never raised taxes...he just enhanced revenue.

LOL

Six pages of virulent personal attacks on Paul Krugman yet not a single post refuting what he says.

Anybody want to try?

To be fair there the seeds of a few attempts at refutation...limited, but they are there.

But 6/7 pages and no real arguments refuting Krugman in a reasonable and rational way.

The Right Wing Lunacy @ USMB Lives!

tff

I'd sooner try to refute the little boy who cried wolf.

And you'd most likely not have better luck doing that.

You'd just continue with your[Dante] juvenile sneering and self-proclaimed victory, no matter what anyone says.

That could be the most astute thing I've ever seen you post.

and this juvenile sneer is based on..?

I am a loss to find any argument he is making here, except Republicans are inconsistent. and have a hard time coming to terms with the Medicare beast. it is an obligation, so it must be paid, it is out of control, so it must be regulated, it is a political hot potato, so it is hard to touch.

What exactly did he say that made any point that anyone can argue for or against?

One can argue with it as well as you can argue with this statement:



Both statements are as wise as the other, and as worthy of attention.

at least you've attempted to refute.

clap, clap, clap...

What do you mean, refute? it is like trying to refute the Namibian desert, just hot corrosive wind and emptiness. it is like trying to refute interstellar space. it is a vacuum that I, like nature, find abhorrent.

Don't quit your day job.

Still no reasonable and rational refutation?

Must suck being a pretend intellectual.

Paul Krugman is a prov-en idiot. Democrats fawn over his fictional stories because communist awarded him one of those fucked up Nobel Prizes.

another shit talking Right Wing Lunatic @ USMB (RWL@USMB), can't refute the supposed idiocies of Krugman so they attack him?

and the laughs keep coming...

go figure

Krugman & Dante both get off on standing up Straw Men & blowing them down. It all sounds a bit gay to me. Everyone knows that the Socialist / Democrat Ponzi scheme called Medicare will soon bankrupt the planet. The unfunded SS/Medicare/Prescription Drug mandates will dig a $107 Trillion hole destroying the USA. This is no joke!

As far as your lying sack of shit Socialist / Democrat idol Paul Krugman. In his NYT article titled “How did economists get it so wrong?” Krugman is trying to get people to believe that the GSEs Fannie & Freddie were not the big sub-prime mortgage buyers. The GSEs Fannie & Freddie cost tax payers far more than all the bailed out banks combined. Plus the banks already paid back the TARP but Fannie & Freddie are still imploding sucking up more & more tax payer dollars. More facts Krugman got wrong!

Krugtard also puts most blame on interest rates & refuses to blame the CRA for the sub-prime crisis. The fact is if a lender is loaning money at zero percent interest but borrowers do not qualify because of high lending standards then loans will not get made just like today, but if there are few lending standards due to enforcement of the CRA then everyone who wants a loan gets one regardless of interest rates because these lowlife borrowers could care less about rates on a loan they never intended to pay back in the first place. Another point that escapes Krugman is banks could only lend very few sub-prime loans before becoming insolvent until Clinton signed the law allowing them to sell them to Fannie & Freddie. Then the name of the banker game was make massive money originating & selling as many loans to other suckers like Fannie & Freddie as possible.

So shove your shit talking Krugman idol & his Nobel Prize up your Left Wing Lunatic Ass you ignorant Liberal FUCKTARD!!!

Krugman should know all about hypocrisy.

he's nothing but a two bit Democrat-Progressive whore.

So no counterpoint to anything he said?

 

[LibocalypseNow]

I always find it hilarious when a silly lunatic like Krugman calls others lunatics. Another case of pot meeting kettle. Krugman is exactly what fellow Liberal Rahm Emanuel was talking about when he declared "Liberal activists are F*cking Retarded." Krugman is good for a laugh nothing more.

 

[uscitizen]

AND still no repudation of WHAT Krugman said.
I am becoming more convinced he is correct.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Dissapointment is too light a phrase for what I feel here. I thought you, Baruch, came armed with argument and all you have is a foreskin in your hand.

tsk, tsk, tsk...

Paul beats you all. Page 2, and still no rational or reasoned refutation of Krugman's words.

Ferret Face writes partisan loon op-eds, not dispassionate and factually based analyses of policies...He's very much like you disgorging your usual inane spittle about Reagan and Rand.

One need go no farther than the byline to disprove him.

Frank Burns? How does he fit into this?
You are Frank Burns?

Frank Burns? LOL How apt.

The turd is right in that most Republican politicians now defend Medicare, they aren't going to touch such a hot issue where 40 million Seniors are ready to go to the polls to vote them out, they learned their lesson when Bush proposed that just 5% of Social Security be privatized, the AARP can mobilize millions to protest overnight and kill a politician's career, they know this all too well.

 

[Oddball]

Wow...Republicans are welfare statist turd polishers...What else is new?

Of course, little short of hanging a portrait of Lenin in the halls of congress will be close enough for what Krugman wants.

Rising to your level of debate, i have found the perfect rebuttal to Krugman's claims just for you:

I place most of the blame on the Federal Reserve, these bubbles that burst never would have inflated had it not been for ridiculously low interest rates, blaming the free market where there is no true free market is ludicrous and blaming banks and private industries instead of the monetary policies is akin to passing out "Sugar Daddies" and Coca Colas to a kindergarten class and then blaming the children for the sugar rush.

But what did he say? If you try and pull an argument out of the OP you get air. It is just like a Dante post.. There are words and they are arranged into grammatical sentences, but as for real discussion, all you have is hot corrosive wind.

It is like building mad libs from refrigerator magnets. We will put Republican at the end of the sentence, put a pejorative adjective in front of that, arrange a predicate, find a animate noun for the subject, and hey, we got a Krugman/Dante argument.

Like so:

"Soybeans are oppressed by homophobic Republicans."

That has the same degree of rationality as what was posted at the front of the topic.

Your Free Market would have NO regulation. Now that is

Free Marketeers who hide every failed Free Market concept or policy behind your kind of thinking are Clowns in search of a Circus.

Blaming the industry for their unrestrained greed is responsible.

Giving industry a pass becaue you believe in an imaginary 'invisible hand' is pathetic. There is NO invisible hand.

We have people who worked with derivatives and morgtages laughing at others who bought what they knew was garbage.

and the meltdown had more to do with the Markets lacking regulation (which you admit/infer) than not.....and the meltdown was caused by more than morgtages and Fed rates
