New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has returned from his all-too-brief vacation to read a book with what promises to be a series of articles arguing that Social Security is not in trouble, and everything will be OK for 100+ years to come. Krugman's got some beauts in the column and a longer piece in […]
You'll forgive me if I'm incredibly unimpressed by any claims that "growing the economy" can save a Ponzi scheme -- something that would get anyone other than the government a long time in the pokey. Leading the media ostrich charge is New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, who took a break from his break to […]
New York Times hack Paul Krugman has come back from his work on a economics textbook (it is unclear whether he is writing one or reading one) to warn about the horrors of making any changes to Social Security. On Tuesday, Krugman denied that there even is a crisis looming for the program as Baby […]
New York Times Bush-hating columnist Paul Krugman's latest column is chock-full of conjecture that President Bush is going to bring back the draft. It's not worth anyone's time to go through Krugman's manure point-by-point, but there was something I wanted to consider. It will take four more years to disprove Krugman's lie, but at the […]
I haven't been beating up on New York Times columnist Paul Krugman lately because he hasn't been doing much original work. Twice a week he trots out the same old, tired claims with the words put in a slightly different order and the Times pays him all over again. As the inestimable Don Luskin points […]
National Review's Byron York went to a forum the other day featuring New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, Clinton hatchet man Sidney Blumenthal and proven liar Joseph Wilson, among others. What York discovered was that Krugman isn't just a left-wing hack -- he's got serious mental problems. Krugman told the crowd that the president is […]
It should come as no surprise that the man who just a couple of weeks ago took umbrage at being called a quasi-socialst comes out today for the government taking over the healthcare industry. Paul Krugman's column today endorses the nationalization of a huge chunk of the American economy. Does this mean that the American […]
Don Luskin slams New York Times columnist Paul Krugman for his tireless work in making one of his own predictions come true. Krugman's Tuesday column was one big whine about this election being the nastiest on record. Left out is that Krugman has done his best over the past four years to drag political speech […]
You just gotta love Paul Krugman. So book smart, but reality stupid. [A] new Bush campaign ad pushes the theme of an "ownership society," and concludes with President Bush declaring, "I understand if you own something, you have a vital stake in the future of America." Call me naïve, but I thought all Americans have […]
I watched the rhetorical slugfest on Tim Russert's show this past weekend. It wasn't exactly title fightlike, it was more of a "Toughman" competition. Not a lot of skill was on display, but it was bloody. Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, with a decided advantage on reach, height and weight, it was really no contest as […]
