Seriously, do any of you left-wing idiot nutjobs on this board still think these two guys are still worth listening to?

Two days, no replies. Either none of them have the stones to say yes, or none of them know who either of those two individuals are.

I'm kinda going with a combination of the two options above...

Krugman is largely a Democrat cheerleader and hardcore Keynesian. He blasted the Bush Adminstrations and Republicans in Congress for their deficit spending but now that BO is in the WH not only is he in favor of deficit spending he wants even more to stimulate the economy. He is correct that in the short term government spending will create the illusion the economy is recovering. The reality is the economy will just get sicker in the long run because of all the malinvestment taking place and resources being diverted by government rather than the free market. Once they stop spiking the punch bowl the party is over because there is no genuine growth to prop up the economy.
