Krugman is a smart guy. But ... his mind seems to wander all over, whether it makes sense or not. I recommend reading him but for his logic process and not his conclusions.

Really not trying to bring this board down into the cage, but it dos sound odd having a sound logic process, but then reaching bad conclusions. You just mean conclusions you don't agree with?

I just pulled up his latest column on nyt.com. It's a for pay article for some reason, but here's the headline:

Tragedy in Black and White

Race is the biggest reason America treats its poor more harshly than any other ...

No, thanks! Is it possible the poor are treated poorly because we're a capitalist society and they have no money? Let me tell you, I've been there. Having no money sucks.

Okay, google helped me find the text of the article:

A quote:

But in a larger sense, the administration's lethally inept response to Hurricane Katrina had a lot to do with race.

This board is way to conservative anyway, I don't even have to put a joke right here. It's odd though that he doesn't mention that Mayor Nagin's response to the store who was black... Oh, forget it. It's pointless explaining to people like Krugman. And, further, Bush is in no way an anti-government conservative as Krugman alludes to. He's trying to implement some of the biggest government projects ever.

These days "intelligent liberal" means "Rockefeller Republican".

I guess by Rockefeller Repbulican you just mean a moderate. Like Mort Kondrake maybe? I actually Tivo that FOX show with him and Fred Barnes because it's a good half hour summary of the week's news that hits all the highlights.
