Once again, a Krugman kick to the right's sac

[Martinghoul]

Quote from Tsing Tao:
i think it absolutely has to do with krugman. he's advocating more government spending and stimulus. he's a big pusher for more money thrown into the system, and more of the same. and he's wrong.

Well, so what? There are other people advocating it, as well as people advocating the opposite. It doesn't mean that any of these people are necessarily right. It's a matter of principle for me to argue a particular view based purely on its own merits, rather than on the merits of famous people that happen to agree or disagree.

Yes, I know, but I don't want to talk about Krugman. Hence I suggested that we can discuss the govt participation subject in another thread.

 

[Hello]

+1 to everything you have said Tsing Tao, i have enjoyed reading this debate, and most of the points from both sides.
