Last week Krugman took on Bush and his connections in "privatizing" Utimco -- the University of Texas Investment Management Co. Well, someone with some credibility on the issue has answered Krugman, William H. Cunningham, former chancellor and former chairman of the board of regents of the University of Texas system. You can read the response […]
If Krugman wrote columns like this one in Tuesday's New York Times I'd have to find another whipping boy. It's not that it's 100 percent accurate, or that there aren't some points that I disagree with, but, uncharacteristic of Krugman, it's reasonably fair. A few minor points of note about the latest column: Realistically, we […]
What would Krugman have done if he'd been writing for the New York Times at the beginning of the Clinton administration? Would he have been decrying Hillary's health care task force and its refusal to release minutes from its meetings? Would he have been critical of Clinton as allegations arose bout him using state troopers […]
It's Friday, and that means that we can expect New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's latest screed against the Bush administration. Krugman reveals in his piece that the Bush administration is full of corporate or Washington insiders. Well, what administration isn't? The former secretary of the treasury under Bill Clinton, Robert Rubin, was definitely an […]
It would be nice to do this as a full-time job, but I don't have that luxury. NRO's Byron York does a thorough and honest analysis of Bush's Harken Energy "scandal" -- pointing out a variety of misleading and false charges by The New York Times' Paul Krugman. Regarding the late filing of SEC Form […]
I'm beginning to think that my own paper's James Goldsborough may provide more fodder than Krugman ever has. In today's paper, Goldsborough tags President Bush as a new-isolationist for not blindly following the advice of elite opinion-makers on the other side of the pond. If the Bush administration had deliberately set out to drive America's […]
On Friday morning I felt a little relieved that The New York Times' Paul Krugman column didn't appear on Friday, so I wouldn't feel the need to critique it before I left for my weekend in San Luis Obispo. (The wedding was beautiful by the way.) So, when I returned home on Sunday afternoon I […]
Reader Tim Witkowski notes offers this tidbit in response to Krugman's suggestion that it is somehow un-American to arrange your finances to minimize your tax bill. Further to your expose of Krugman's campaign of deliberate misinformation, a venerable principle in tax law, perhaps best articulated by the famous Judge Learned Hand in Helvering v. Gregory, […]
One of the advantages of living on the West Coast is that you can start reading the next day's Washington Post and New York Times at 9 p.m. It's not quite an afternoon paper, but it's close enough. In tomorrow's New York Times, columnist and former Enron hack Paul "Line 47" Krugman assails any move […]
The New York Times columnist, Paul Krugman, has been pilloried for months by The Wall Street Journal, among others, because of his two-faced columns on Enron and his questionable economic theories. On Friday, Krugman took on the "Bush Tax Cut" with the following analysis: Finally, there's line 47. You haven't heard about that, but you […]
