Fauxconomist Paul (The Kroog) Krugman actually published a column with a good idea last week. Go figure. His idea was presented as the prologue to a discussion of the Waxman-Markey bill, characterized as "centrist" by the Kroog. Kroog says that since "global warming" is dooming us, this "disappointing" bill is better than nothing because, I guess, it will ensure that we are less doomed. I also can't determine which leftist Kroog thinks is the centrist, Leftifornia's Waxman or Taxachussets's Markey.
But anyway, in the prologue, the Kroog states that "it was easy to take stands during the Bush years" because "one could, with a clear conscience, oppose all the administration's initiatives." This got me thinking. I've never read one thing that this internationally-acclaimed (in socialist circles) fauxconomist has written, and it actually floors me that some "university" awarded this guy a doctorate in economics. Oh, wait, it was MIT, land of the economic tweakers, people who think they can model the economy with mathematics well enough to use tax money to turn it on a dime. Never mind.
But here's where the Kroog has, perversely (ha ha!) hit the proverbial nail on the head. Since he lives in the liberals' opposite-land universe of delusion, it's possible for me to read anything he writes and automatically oppose it. I've been doing that for years anyway, so this will definitely save me some time. Try it, and if it works for you, be sure to thank Paul Krugman for his brilliant idea.
