But Smitty over at The Other McCain has already done it for me.
Sitting There Feeling Useless sits Paul Krugman, unable to grasp that the American people aren’t buying his swill.
Would that this were true...
” (Krugman’s quote) The worst thing you can do in these circumstances is slash government spending, since that will depress the economy even further.”
Can you not grasp reality, man? Government Spending Triggers FiscalUndertows.
Only somebody with the mentality of an insect would lack the wisdom to see that, beyond a certain early point (long ago passed in our case) the governmental cast on the economic limb with the fracture* causes atrophy of the market muscles. Human beings that do not confuse themselves with Socialist ants can grasp that an exoskeleton on the limb implies increasing weakness over time, not recovery. Load-shed the government spending, the over-regulation, the suffocating growth of bureaucracy, and go for some good, old-fashioned physical therapy.
Sincerely, Thanks For Understanding.

If you didn’t catch it, the theme Smitty’s short post is STFU, Krugman! On a related topic, HuffPost has a story in which Dick Durban calls the debt ceiling deal “the death of Keynesian economics.” We should be so lucky. Keynes’ theories are like a zombie that can’t be killed as long as there liberals and progressives to act as hosts to the contagion.
