jazzbo Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/15/opinion/15krugman.html?hp From today's New York Times -- It's early in the morning NYC time and Dr. Krugman's column is open for Comments. Here's a chance for the usual-suspects to tell Dr. Krugman personally why he doesn't know what-the-<deleted>> he is talking about... I'll be on the look-out for all those comments from Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midas Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I move that any mention of Krugman's name be prefaced with "Former Enron Advisor." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) Why not really tarnish him and call him (gasp) a Keynesian... In one of his recent NYT columns he said that the problem with the USA recovery is not government intervention but that the government was not intervening enough. as per Enron: In early 1999, Krugman served on an advisory panel (including Larry Lindsey and Robert Zoellick) that offered Enron executives briefings on economic and political issues. He resigned from the panel in the fall of 1999 to comply with New York Times rules regarding conflicts of interest... (Wikipedia) The NYTimes loves pithy comments... readers' comments Taking On China By PAUL KRUGMAN It’s time for America to confront China about the undervaluation of its currency, which is adding to the world’s economic problems at a time when those problems are already severe. Share your thoughts. ... Maybe be other than a big fish in a nano-pond. Edited March 15, 2010 by jazzbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) Pick of the litter so far: The idea that America is in a position to play "hard ball" with the Chinese is amusing coming from an economist. Our weakness in this regard is exacerbated by our deficits, of which you are proponent. You can't have it both ways. #220. HIGHLIGHT george boston March 15th, 2010 2:12 pm I've looked at 200+ comments so far (there were 330 total before closing) from all over the world and they are about 3:1 the above sentiment... none so far from Thailand. My personal favorite: 177. Very well put Dr. Krugman. As much as most people don't realize it, we do indeed have China over the barrel. As Donald Trump once said "When you owe a bank $1 million dollars, you're in trouble. When you owe a bank one billion dollars, they're in trouble."
