Paul Krugman on Townhall

• Paul Krugman "Was" Right Tue May 14
  Mike Shedlock
  It is a simple statement of fact that the more goods and services we receive for our money, the better off we all are. The cheaper, the better! Time and time again we forget free trade and lower prices are a benefit! ... more
• Paul Krugman Has Won Tue Apr 30
  Michael Schaus
  The economic argument is over, and Paul Krugman has won. Because, nothing spells victory like 20-some-odd million people out of work, a declining workforce, record deficits, anemic economic growth, record dependency on government programs and a heightened sense of volatility in the broad economy. ... more

• Out of Ideas, Governments Try a Bank Heist Tue Mar 19
  John Ransom
  With liberal ideas firmly in the saddle, civilizing us, so to speak, we no longer applaud Depression-era bank robbers. Instead, today, we send them to Congress, or parliament, or the legislature, where governments try to achieve folk hero status by robbing banks and depositors alike. ... more

• The Perils of Tax Rate Nostalgia Wed Dec 5
  Michael Medved
  Americans have always reveled in nostalgia about the music, fashion or favorite foods of bygone eras, but a sudden yearning for the high tax rates of yesteryear represents a startling new development. While some opinion leaders pine openly for the tax system that once claimed a big majority of income from top earners, their cozy, communitarian vision offers a deeply distorted view of those good old days. ... more
• Turning Attention to the Chief Suspect in the Crime of Ghastly Unemployment Wed Dec 5

• Flooded by Keynesianism Sat Nov 3
  Rich Tucker
  Hurricane Sandy was an invader, one that splashed ashore with as much destructive power as any foreign (or perhaps interstellar) invader could hope to bring to bear against our coasts. Thus, in the opinion of economist Paul Krugman, the storm should help boost the American economy. ... more

• Money, Twisted: Caught in the Devil's Bargain Tue Sep 11
  Ralph Benko
  Paul Krugman, in his New York Times column of August 24, "Galt, Gold and God," rails against an interest in the gold standard, which he attributes to Paul Ryan. Krugman lambastes Ryan, ironically enough, for an observation the latter made paraphrasing Keynes: "'There is nothing more insidious that a country can do to its citizens,' he intoned, 'than debase its currency.'" ... more
• 'Atlas Shrugged'; Liberals Whined Tue Aug 28
  Debra J. Saunders
  Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan to be his running mate. Since his teens, Ryan has been a big fan of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged."

• Another Horror Story about Government-Run Healthcare that Can’t Possibly Be True According to Paul Krugman Sun Jan 1
  Daniel J. Mitchell
  Paul Krugman has told us that awful stories about government-run healthcare in Britain “are false.” I guess this means that the media must be dominated by conservative liars, since we keep getting reports about substandard care and needless deaths. ... more
• The Year of Krugman Thuggishness Wed Dec 21
  Brent Bozell
  In 2008, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics. At that time, it wasn't hard to imagine the Swedes were rewarding Krugman for eight years of blasting George W. Bush. In other words, the Nobel Prize truly matched its namesake: Alfred Nobel invented dynamite. Krugman regularly throws rhetorical dynamite at anything that stands in the way of his radical worldview. ... more
