‘Rate Shock’ Isn’t an Unintended Consequence But a Key Element of Obamacare
The so-called "Affordable Care Act" is designed to force young, healthy individuals to subsidize the costs for the sick.
The so-called "Affordable Care Act" is designed to force young, healthy individuals to subsidize the costs for the sick.
Obamacare does nothing to actually address the underlying causes of why health care is so unaffordable, it just tries to shift costs around in ways that can only exacerbate the problem.
Those who claim that cutting government spending would worsen the recession often cite 1937 as an argument. The trouble is that this argument makes no sense whatsoever.
Krugman advocated the very same Fed policy that caused the bubble and hence the inevitable bust. But his faith in printing money remains unchanged. Yet, somehow he retains his reputation.
You can see why Krugman doesn't want to admit that that he was in fact cheerleading the U.S. into disaster.
Krugman tries to deceive his readers into thinking that it is merely a prejudicial slander from conservatives to suggest that unemployment benefits create a perverse incentive for people not to find work, despite the fact that he knows perfectly well that it is true.
In his latest column, Krugman asks, “Why have we been having so many bubbles?” His answer is instructive.
Krugman writes of economist Milton Friedman that a convincing case is made that "Friedman was indeed more or less a Keynesian"
When Krugman writes, "I am not making this up", he's just trying to use a Jedi mind trick on you. Don't be a weak-minded fool!
John C. Goodman tackles Krugman’s latest repetition of his dishonest claim...
Paul Krugman has had a constant theme of arguing that the lack of runaway price inflation since the financial crisis has vindicated Keynesian economics and proven Austrian economics utterly wrong.
A constant mantra of Paul Krugman's is to blame Europe's and the U.S.'s economic woes on "austerity", even though there is none.
Paul Krugman writes that "eventually" the U.S. will need "to rein in the growth of U.S. government debt", but that for now, "it would be irresponsible and destructive not to kick that can down the road"
In his latest column, Paul Krugman criticizes Mitt Romney for saying that people don’t die because they don’t have insurance, even while acknowledging that “hospitals are required by law to treat people in dire need, whether or not they can pay.” But, he argues,...
In Paul Krugman’s latest column, he tries to turn the dismal economy into a partisan issue in another remarkable display of his intellectual dishonesty and hypocrisy.
That Krugman feels it necessary to resort to such logical fallacies as strawman and ad hominem argumentation while accusing others of dishonesty illustrates how he is incapable of producing any kind of actual reasonable and factual argument and also speaks volumes about what an extraordinary hypocrite he is.
In his latest column for the New York Times, Paul Krugman has an astonishingly Orwellian take on government spending.
Krugman’s argument degenerated into a personal attack on those who disagreed with him in a classic case of psychological projection. Krugman then took that ad hominem argument and compounded upon the fallacy by turning it into a strawman argument for his column.
So basically Krugman's argument is that spending on social "safety net" programs and jobs (i.e., "stimulus") and bank bailouts is supposed to counted and is considered part of "Big Government" if the economy seems to be improving; but if things aren't looking so good, then we must ignore them completely and blame the situation on "austerity" rather than "Big Government".
Paul Krugman is fond of arguing that opponents of the inflationary Federal Reserve monetary policy he advocates are wrong because we haven't had runaway inflation yet.
I am a truly independent journalist and Research Fellow at The Libertarian Institute whose work is focused on exposing dangerous mainstream propaganda that serves to manufacture consent for criminal government policies.
I'm the author of several books, including Obstacle to Peace: The US Role in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict The War on Informed Consent, Ron Paul vs. Paul Krugman: Austrian vs. Keynesian Economics in the Financial Crisis, and The War on Informed Consent, which features a Foreword by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Topics I have covered over the years include 9/11 and the "war on terrorism", the war on Iraq, the Israel-Palestine conflict, the role of the Federal Reserve in the economy, and so-called "public health" policies including vaccines and the COVID-19 lockdown madness.
The aim of my work is to empower people with the knowledge needed to see through the lies and to create a brighter future for our children.
