And he won the Nobel Prize for international trade theory and economic geography, an abstract branch of macroeconomics where he mathematically modeled common, but interesting economic trade situations. It wasn’t a politically.

Krugman was an internationally renowned economist before he became a NY Times columnists, having taught at MIT, Stanford, and Princeton (and still is currently a Princeton professor).

I understand that conservatives would not like Krugman’s ideas, but to try to diminish his Nobel Prize is ridiculous. He earned it.

1.A lack of interest in the “nuts-and-bolts work of fixing things”; and
2.A lack of sincerity — in fact, he comes across as “deeply insincere.”

I have ALWAYS thought that Krugman was, as we said when I lived Down South, “one smart sumbitch.”

Too bad Krugman’s not SECTREAS.

Besides, I heard the prize was for Keynesian macroeconomics which is an area he had never done any substantive work on. And yet the guy has enough popular appeal as a writer and halo effect as a Nobelist to get quoted as gospel by defenders of the stimulus package without a critical thought. It’s just beyond stupid. I hope he’s satisfied pushing his own name at the expense of the country.

Well it hasn’t been relevant for years now….obots thought somehow that would “change”.

how many people are going to claim that they really didn’t vote for the ONE

LOL!! so right. The ” I told you so” factor in this has been so hard and fast, the obots cannot get away from it LOLOL!

I shouldn’t have been surprised, but I was. Deeply shocked, in fact. It filled me with a sense of doom.

But in the primaries, he criticized Obama rightfully so.
