Krugman on September 14, 2001, Three Days after the Attack

“[This] terror attack – like the original day of infamy, which brought an end to the Great Depression – could even do some economic good… Now, all of a sudden, we need some new office buildings… rebuilding will generate at least some increase in business spending… Second, the attack opens the door to some sensible recession-fighting measures… Now it seems that we will indeed get a quick burst of public spending” –*New York Times

*

Krugman on Space Aliens as Economic Policy*

“If we discovered that space aliens were planning to attack and we needed a massive buildup to counter the space alien threat and really inflation and budget deficits took secondary place to that, this slump would be over in 18 months. And then if we discovered, oops, we made a mistake, there aren’t any aliens, we’d be better off.” –*CNN

*

Krugman on the White House Council of Economic Advisers, 1982, before the Rate of Inflation Fell to 1.18%

“We believe that it is reasonable to expect a significant reacceleration of inflation… at least 5 percentage points to future increases in consumer prices… This estimate is conservative.” –National Review

*

Telling ABC’s Christiane Amanpour that the Recent Deficit Reduction Panel Recommendations Were Not “Brave Enough”

“Some years down the pike, we’re going to get the real solution, which is going to be a combination of death panels and sales taxes.” –*National Review

*

Krugman Comparing a One-Year Figure (Jobs Created) with a Ten-Year Figure (Total Value of the Tax Cut)

“Let’s pretend that the Bush administration really thinks that its $726 billion tax-cut plan will create 1.4 million jobs. At what price would those jobs be created?… The average American worker earns only about $40,000 per year; why does the administration, even on its own estimates, need to offer $500,000 in tax cuts for each job created?” –*National Review

*

Krugman on the Internet in 1998

“The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in “Metcalfe’s law”–which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants–becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.” –*MarginalRevolution.com

*

Krugman on the Information Economy in 1998

“As the rate of technological change in computing slows, the number of jobs for IT specialists will decelerate, then actually turn down; ten years from now, the phrase information economy will sound silly.” –*MarginalRevolution.com

*

Krugman, in 1998, on the One-Year Productivity Drop that Never Happened

“Productivity will drop sharply this year. Nineteen ninety-seven, which was a very good year for worker productivity, has led many pundits to conclude that the great technology-led boom has begun. They are wrong. Last year will prove to have been a blip, just like 1992.” –MarginalRevolution.com

*

Krugman Lecturing Germany on Economic Recovery (Where Unemployment Continued to Fall, and GDP Grew at Twice the Rate of the United States)

“Even if you manage to save 80 billion euros — which you won’t, because the budget cuts will hurt your economy and reduce revenues — the interest payments on that much debt would be less than a tenth of a percent of your G.D.P. So the austerity you’re pursuing will threaten economic recovery while doing next to nothing to improve your long-run budget position.” –*New York Times

*

Krugman on His Own Record

“Compare me… compare me, uh, with anyone else, and I think you’ll see that my forecasting record is not great.” –*National Review

Melissa Harris-Perry


“We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children. Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children,” she says in a spot for the network’s “Lean Forward” campaign. “So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.”

Our armed forces will fight for peace in Iraq, a peace built on more secure foundations than are found today in the Middle East. Even more important, they will fight for two human conditions of even greater value than peace: liberty and justice.

That could be infinite.

"the science is settled!"

Yes , I always took that to mean the stolen money had already been counted.

[kcchiefs6465]

That could be infinite.
I promised to keep it bumped forever too.

I can't find it to save my life.

Hank Johnson, George Bush, Maxine Waters... it was pretty good.

"Obama Is Not A Keynesian, He's An American!"

[BamaAla]

"Think of the children; it's for the children."

[RPfan1992]

"Obama is a center right president" "We don't need to make the government smaller, just run it better" "I believe in the free market, but we need more government control". I see liberals say this stuff all the time on forums, especially ones that don't have anything to do with politics. Its frustrating since they keep trying to portray themselves as moderates when they aren't.

"Calling people retarded offends retarded people"

It's an endless list. Literally, because liberal stupidity is endless.

Some of those quotes are actually distinctly conservative sayings. Liberals are against the drug war and believe women have the right to an abortion.

I personally know several people who thought islands floated on top of the water until I showed them otherwise.

“Of course, I want people to have health care,” Vinson said. “I just didn’t realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally.”

“I have voted for every park, every library, all the school improvements, for light rail, for anything that will make this city better. But now I can’t afford to live here anymore,” said Austin artist Gretchen Gardner to Austin American Statesman reporters.

“I have voted for every park, every library, all the school improvements, for light rail, for anything that will make this city better. But now I can’t afford to live here anymore”

THIS. THIS. THIS.
PROOF that the ballot box is more dangerous than guns. Voting won't protect you, but it can surely fuck everyone up.
