Gene said in fact he was pleased in fact as normally I am not on the pro-Krugman side, rather the reverse, gave him reassurance. That looks to me like a man aware of confirmation bias and guarding against it. Your comment here on the other hand ...<br /><br />Look, I disagree with Gene a lot. Espceically of course on religion. But he's a very sharp, serious guy. (Plus he likes Igor Stravinsky.) He's not just trash talking. You really shoudn't see his reaction as evidence you're on the right track, as you might with a partisan hack like [insert name here].

You yourself admitted that was a good question when I raised it.<br /><br />Is that really such a huge leap I made there? For me to think that if Krugman could be horrified in 2003, that some people right now could be horrified at a non-liquidity trap economy facing the same thing (but with 3x as much debt/GDP) in 2014?<br /><br />And that Krugman is being a complete jerk for saying anybody who even thinks such a thing, is a lying idiot?<br /><br />The fact that you are calling me "blind" for making this perfectly reasonable point, makes me stop worrying when you criticize me for going overboard on Krugman. Krugman is totally out of line with his insults thrown at people who are worrying about just what he was, and either (a) disagree that high unemployment is a shield against inflation and/or (b) can look two moves ahead in a chess game.Bob Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001108408649311528noreply@blogger.com
