protein wisdom summarizes: If you build it as a government dig some big holes, they the workers will come fill them in for a reasonable, living wage, and in so doing, become productive citizens who pay taxes and provide the government with the revenue necessary to take care of you in a way you simply aren’t capable of taking care of yourselves.*
Media Matters responds: “Hey! You EDITED that unfairly, you dumb lying racist!”
Who would it be that decided Paul Krugman has any ability to decide anything for himself? I think he needs to turn over his financial and health decisions to the nearest GS-9 at a desk. And his paycheck.

How about the short-run turning into a long-run before our eyes in light of the experience of the past two years? This isn’t to dismiss the budget picture of the past two years, i.e., the lack of a budget for a period swiftly closing in on three years because the Democrats refuse to pass a budget? Goddamn right it is. Krugman doesn’t even mention it.
Yes, we can SO bootstrap ourselves!
Remember, for progressives, wealth is just there lying around for the taking. Also, governments don’t waste money, because all money gets distributed to those who need it, even if it’s to a bureaucracy that chews up money that is supposed to be spent elsewhere. Bureaucrats need to eat, too.
You see, since wealth is simply there, as opposed to being created, it doesn’t matter how you manage existing wealth. The new wealth will magically appear regardless.
Shorter Krugman: You can’t collect from the dead. And in the long-run, that’s all we are anyways.
It is weird though isn’t it, this self-destruction we witness the progressives and their allies committing on themselves? I mean, even stupid people are capable of figuring out that what they’re doing is harming themselves, so generally will wake up to quit long before they’ve succeeded in their own annihilation. But these progressive fucks clearly don’t have a clue.
Which, I can’t help but stand back in amazement. Damned if I’d try to stop them so they’ll still be around “in the out years”, as they like to say. Fuck no. Leave ’em be to complete the job. And good riddance.
I’d bet that if we could translate Krugman’s economics to physics, it would wind up being perpetual motion.
Potemkin national security too.
So the brilliant idea to save money is to leave 3,000 soldiers exposed as targets in a disintegrating Iraq. Fuck. These Obama people are morons, plain and simple.
I think he’s projecting. He’s assuming deficit spending helps support a depressed economy because eating an entire half-gallon of Chunky Monkey always helps him when he’s depressed.
It’s not as if his lactose intolerance bothers him, after all.
The guy’s gotta do something to tie down his left flank, sdferr.
And besides, if they didn’t insist on voting Republican, we wouldn’t have to work so hard at excluding their ballots. So fuck ’em. (As it was notoriously said).

I get confused sometimes, Comrade Krugman.
Is today the day we dig the holes, or is today the day we fill them?
I forget.
This is a bridge to ruin too far for even the likes of Carl Levin is my guess. But then, we’ll see.

Hook her up with Abe Froman, unless she looks like the south end of a north-bound mule. In which case, William Yelverton.
Why would you want Yelfie’s children to look better than him?
OT a bit more, but speaking of no-people Potemkin Villages, this…
Unless that’s a photo essay about the hordes of scantily clad teenage nympho zombie ninjas roaming the countryside, I’m not interested serr8d.
At least the Chernobyl one had a hot chick on a motorcycle…
True statement.
Why anyone wants to help a depressed economy instead of helping a vibrant economy is anyones guess.

she’s taking boxing lessons?!
rich people are wierdos
