Presumably you know Oxy- stands for Oxford. Why ask dogs not to bark, cats not to meow, or leftist hacks not to propose salt water for our economic thirst?
Here he goes again: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/11/opinion/11krugman.html?_r=1&WT.mc_id=NYT-E-I-NYT-E-AT-0713-L15
“The truth is that creating jobs in a depressed economy is something government could and should be doing. ” Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
This whole idea depends on this magical fantasy that governments have money. They don’t. They have the power to tax, the power to borrow, and the power–in most nations, not this one–to create money.
Always, always, always, the government is in the end either we the people–meaning we self-fund our own services–or We the Technocrats, who arrogantly choose winners and losers in an anti-free market fashion, which in aggregate does horrible damage to the private sector, which is the only sustainable source of wealth production and job creation.
Paul Krugman causes human suffering. He causes unnecessary human suffering: broken homes, chronic unemployment, depressed wages, bankrupt businesses.
If only he were capable of shame; but alas human history–particularly recent human history–is filled to overflowing with sanctimonious, destructive assholes like him.
