Paul Krugman, "we’re going to need a bigger stimulus"

The Stock Market Advantage (Free subscription) | yesterday

I n a recent N. Y. Times op-ed piece, Paul Krugman lays out the math that proves more stimulus is needed to get the economy out of its freefall. According to Krugman, the U. S. economy is 8.5 million jobs in the red since 100k new jobs are needed to stay even with a growing population and 6.5 million jobs have been lost since the recession began.

Krugman Says Al Franken's Big Secret Is: He's A Policy Wonk

Crooks and Liars (Free subscription) | 5 hours ago

I just loved this little tidbit from Paul Krugman this morning: David Broder has a column this morning calling for bipartisanship . I know, you’re shocked. But what struck me was this bit about Al Franken: Franken, the loud-mouthed former comedian, will be the 60th member of the Senate Democratic caucus … Two points. First, implicit in this characterization of Franken is...

Philosopher Stone (Free subscription) | yesterday

Many people hold NY Times columnist Paul Krugman in high regard. I assume this is especially true since he recently won the Nobel in economics. Of course, he won that award for work he did quite a while ago and not in areas he most typically opines and prescribes policy in his columns and TV interviews. And of course there are numerous other nobel-winning economists who disagree with...

"Please do not believe all the talk about the green shoots of the Japanese economy, which I suspect you might have heard. We are in pretty bad shape." Narika Hama, a professor of economics at Doshisha University in Kyoto, is a sort of Japanese version of Paul Krugman�"if Paul Krugman were a woman with a purple rinse, pink jacket, funky blue jeans, black...

Paul Krugman Says it Best

ClimateSight (Free subscription) | yesterday

“[Climate change deniers] don’t like the political and policy implications of climate change, so they’ve decided not to believe in it — and they’ll grab any argument, no matter how disreputable, that feeds their denial. Indeed, if there was a defining moment in Friday’s debate, it was the declaration by Representative Paul Broun of Georgia that climate [...]...

“[T]he deeper the hole gets, the harder it will be to dig ourselves out. The job figures weren’t the only bad news in Thursday’s report, which also showed wages stalling and possibly on the verge of outright decline. That’s a recipe for a descent into Japanese-style deflation, which is very difficult to reverse.” Also see: Japanese [...]

Paul Krugman: climate sceptics in Congress are guilty of treason

Global Dashboard (Free subscription) | 03/07/2009

Paul Krugman’s NYT column on Monday didn’t pull any punches as far as the 212 Congresspeople who voted ‘no’ on the Waxman-Markey climate bill were concerned: as I watched the deniers make their arguments, I couldn’t help thinking that I was watching a form of treason — treason against the planet. He continues: …sometimes even the most authoritative...

Why One Cannot Take Paul Krugman or Other Keynesians Seriously

Crime & Federalism (Free subscription) | 03/07/2009

In his latest New York Times column, Krugman "argues" in favor of a second - this time much larter - stimulus. Argues in in quotes, since Krugman doesn't really make an argument. Rather, like a holy man or witch doctor with a direct line to the supernatural, he makes assertions. Logical people can shut Krugman and other Keynesians up quickly....
