Brett Stephens takes apart Krugman in One Paragraph

[The Rabbi]

Leave it to the incomparable Stephens. Krugman is an appropriate face for this administration, the most failed in history.

[
So Paul Krugman , who once called on Alan Greenspan “to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble”; who, a few months before the eurozone crisis erupted, praised Europe as “an economic success” that “shows that social democracy works”; who, as the U.S. fracking revolution was getting under way, opined that America was “just a bystander” in a global energy story defined by “peak oil”; and who, in 2012, hailed Argentina’s economy as a “remarkable success story”—this guy now tells us, in Rolling Stone magazine, that Barack Obama has been a terrific president.

Which can only mean that the next two years are going to be exceptionally ugly. How to get through them?

Obama has been an excellent president if you're Russia, China, and ISIS.

OH, and Jimmy Carter.

The monkeys' finally off his back. Obama makes him look trustworthy and semi competent.

 

[Mac1958]

Yeah, I've been amazed that Krugman will still show his face in public after that housing bubble piece.

Shameless.

 

[Claudette]

Well, thats Krugman for you.

Just think of all the lefties out there who think he's the cats meow.


Shamless? You bet.
