Anyone tubing?

 

[amabala]

Is it me or does Krugman remind you guys of that annoying little teacher's pet in elementary school?

 

[RDM]

I feel like I'm watching a first grader trying to tell his teacher how to teach.

 

[harikaried]

More after the break?!

 

[undergroundrr]

This is the best show I've ever seen.

I feel like I'm watching a first grader trying to tell his teacher how to teach.

A smarmy one at that!

Krugman getting PWND, he's such a liar.

They need to give them a couple three hours to debate, Krugman would suffer a nervous breakdown from the cognitive dissonance.

I think Ron is doing a great job. I can't even imagine how much of a fool Krugman would look against someone like Bob Murphy.

 

[brandon]

Pretty good so far. I guess I should get back to work now.

 

[The Northbreather]

" we need to double team Ron again, will be right back after this"

 

[Root]

Krugman: "were not even sure what money is"

I face palmed.

 

[steel-the-deal]

its not over yet, more Ron to come!! Work can wait lol

 

[WilliamC]

Krugman: "were not even sure what money is"

 

[Crystallas]

Home run.

 

[ravedown]

i think krug is dong a good job as a big gov. fed shill. he and the hosts are marginalizing dr paul as an out of touch fringer...but paul is making great points...even match up so far. including the show hosts, its basically 3 on one fight.

 

[gjdavis60]

Ron doing very well so far, imo. To his credit, Krugman has not been belligerent or insulting so far.

 

[harikaried]

Krugman didn't explicitly explain it when he said cutting spending would be worse. It's because federal government spending is included in GDP, so cutting spending would make the debt to GDP ratio even worse. So Krugman is advocating for more spending to make it seem like the ratio is better.

 

[JellyRev]

I'm assuming the MSM headline will be Ron Paul says Krugman wants to go back to Roman monetary policy. Just something outrageous
