I've heard that. Hope I get the chance to sample some more of them
someday.

Paul Krugman, the former Enron advisor? The guy is lousy. Only the NY
Times would ever hire someone that moronic to be a columnist.

"Nobel laureate (in Economics) calls for steeper tax cuts in US"


AFP/Royal Swedish Academy of Science-HO/File

Edward Prescott, who picked up the Nobel Prize for Economics, said
President
George W. Bush's tax rate cuts were "pretty small" and should have been
bigger

The deficit as a % of GDP is not very high. It has been higher.

Well, Steve, can you offer any factual rebuttal to what they said? Just
the fact that you think they might be liberals because they're part of
academia isn't really an argument, you know. After all, isn't Prescott,
the
guy originally cited by you, a member of academia? Why does his opinion
carry more weight than those others?

By the way, I knnow that the Bush admin. has stated that the massive
federal deficit is overwhelmingly due to the war on terror and homeland
security spending increases, but the Congressional Budget Office released
figures recently that plainly showed that over 60% of the deficit was due
to the tax cuts.

A lot of them even believe (and regularly say) Castro is "A great
leader!"
WHAT THE ****?!?!?!


Wow. Cites, please?

His role as "advisor" has been overrated by those who don't like his POV.

No, it is not due to tax cuts. That is a bunch of baloney. It's
because democrats (terrible) and republicans (just bad) won't slaughter
the sacred cows.

Krugman stated in the Russert interview that he thought the
administration was actually trying to do a "set up" and _force_ them to
eventually cut the size of government. He hated it, of course. I, on
the other hand, think it is okay if there is no other way do reduce
spending. Although I'd rather have them simply do it "straight up."

This is one of the stupider ideas I've ever heard Run up a massive
deficit, with the resulting inefficiences that places on the economy,
in the hopes of eventually reducing government spending. You're
insane.

That's like "Oh yeah, I had to shoot my pregnant daugter because she
was headed to a clinic to get an abortion that just ain't right."
Brilliant.
