Seems the Nobel Prize just isn't as prestigious as it once was, back in the days when only the true greats like Yassar Arafat and Al Gore were awarded the medal.

Eh, never mind.

The peace prize and the prize are two, totally different things. Apparently it would seem that the prize itself, which is in a certain field, is also being as politicized as the "peace prize". Krugman is a Keynesian idiot.

Krugman is a Keynesian idiot.

And apparently, he's having difficulty keeping that little fact from getting out.  :popcorn:

I would tend to be more charitable and say there proabably is an envelope in which Keynesian economics works, but we are far outside it given our current debt and obligation structure.

However, Krugman is an idiot for not being able to conceive of this possibility.  It's like he's CEO of a buggy-whip factory in 1926, and he thinks the way to out-compete Henry Ford is to make more buggy-whips, faster.
