No, but I get your point. I still think he spins and supported failed policies.
No, he just says that Obama isn't Keynesian enough. He has never stated that Obama's policies were wrong. He always says that they just weren't big enough.
I don't advocate policies and then make predictions. He does, and expects people to do what he says. There's a difference.
Holy ****, dude. Don't slice up the quotes and slide them into wherever you want. Just my personal preference, because it makes your post a bear to quote cleanly. When I sliced up a quote, I didn't use the quote function. It's probably a Luddite tendency of mine.
However, back to substance.
I'm not going to be polite.
Can you not ******* read?
"The economy is likely to remain depressed for at least two years, but probably much longer than that, Krugman said."
^^^^ That is a direct ******* quote!
It is Krugman's analysis that Obama was yielded to Republicans to make the stimulus smaller. Lawrence Summers directly that he advised the president to err on the small side so as to not overreach. It is also Krugman's analysis that because of the small stimulus, the recovery was not robust. Krugman has come to these conclusions through a review of evidence. Also, it's not his fault that everyone expects economists to know what the unemployment rate will be at a certain time in the future.
And you know what? This is a rather serious digression from the whole point of the thread. You have already been proven wrong on this point:
Have you noticed that none of his predictions have ever been correct and that he never proposes a workable solution?
Do you want to keep up this he-said-she-said bullshit?
