Paul Krugman weighs in on the Apple tax debate

[PoliticalChic]

"Deny WHAT?"

The full quote is

"Deny WHAT? That I'm a communist? You are so ******* crazy there is not even a basis for any sane conversation to be had."

"Deny WHAT? That I'm a communist?"

The Duck Test:
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

 

[AntonToo]

Oh brother...you really are lost.

Oh? Lets see:

Our Constitution is and has been nothing but a piece of paper for many years now. Both political parties ignore it when it suits them and nothing is done.

Nothing but ridiculous hyperbole. Constitution is real and has real consequences even if not all conservatives would like.

Our government is not limited by it.

It is in fact limited by it on daily basis, Do you EVER read about ANY of the supreme court court cases going on?

It is a dead letter and primarily this is because of the influence of leftism. How you could not know this, really is incomprehensible.

The essence of leftism is elitist rule. It does not find value in a document that limits it.

It's not dead, you've just been bingeing on too much rightwing cool-aid. Get a ******* grip.

I'm not a communist, I don't swim or quack like one either...so that leaves just you, quaking along, totally, irreversably bonkers.

You vote Democrat....you vote for this:
1. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

2. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.

3. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

4. . Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.


5. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

6. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

7. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

8. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

9. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."

10. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.


11. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

12. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

13. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce



See what I mean, Ducky?

Krugman may well be the only guy dumber than Obama

Maybe dumb like a fox. He has been and will be rewarded handsomely for being Obama's "expert" economist and faithful butt kisser.

Well he's not dumb Frank but for sure, he has a mental disorder. Theres a big difference. Clearly issue with connecting dots...the red flag is that he is so far out in the fringe in economic thought its hysterical. Economists are wrong frequently but NOBODY is always wrong every time except this guy. Fascinating.

Agreed and yet he is a darling of the Left.

cant see why you all say Krugman is stupid when he said:

"By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet's impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine's." Paul Krugman

He like Obama, has said so many dumb things it is incomprehensible. Yet both dorks win Nobel Prizes.

Here are a few more quotes from the little dofus.


Paul Krugman prognosticates.

* Productivity will drop sharply this year. Nineteen ninety-seven, which was a very good year for worker productivity, has led many pundits to conclude that the great technology-led boom has begun. They are wrong. Last year will prove to have been a blip, just like 1992.

* Inflation will be back. Wages are rising at almost 5 percent annually, and the underlying growth of productivity is probably only 1.5 percent or less. Sooner or later, companies will have to start raising prices. In 1999 inflation will probably be more than 3 percent; with only moderate bad luck--say, a drop in the dollar--it could easily top 4 percent. Sell bonds!

* Within two or three years, the current mood of American triumphalism--our belief that we have pulled economically and technologically ahead of the rest of the world--will evaporate. All it will take is a few technological setbacks or a mild recession here while Europe or Japan recovers a bit.

* As the rate of technological change in computing slows, the number of jobs for IT specialists will decelerate, then actually turn down; ten years from now, the phrase information economy will sound silly.

* Sometime in the next 20 years, maybe sooner, there will be another '70s-style raw-material crunch: a disruption of oil supplies, a sharp run-up in agricultural prices, or both. And suddenly people will remember that we are still living in the material world and that natural resources matter.

good one, here's another one I like:

Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-winning New York Times columnist, was calling the VA’s Veteran’s Health Administration “a huge policy success story” that “offers important lessons for future health reform” as recently as 2011.

I mean really...can someone be as dumb as Krugman appears to be? Sometimes I think it is an act to make money from the dummies on the left.

Could it be he is just playing a game to enrich himself? Many leading lights on the left say all sorts of dumb shit and still they are admired. Think Al Gore.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Krugmans no fool, he knows the more ridiculous he is, the greater the support from Progressives. That's why "pretend we're fighting a war against space aliens to help the economy".

He's the funniest thing since Larson stopped "The Far Side"

Even funnier is that Progressives and the BOJ thing he's serious

There is a great deal of money to be made being a left wing jackass.
