Much Bigger Than The Shutdown: Niall Ferguson's Public Flogging Of Paul Krugman

While America was distracted by the theatrics of the government shutdown and threat of default something of much greater importance occurred.  

Niall Ferguson undertook a public flogging of Paul Krugman.
Krugman’s horns now forever will show under his dislodged faux halo. For this the world will prove a safer, and much more decent, place.

If Paul Krugman Didn't Exist, Republicans Would Have To Invent Him
By Ralph Benko

Paul Krugman makes for an unparalleled intellectual foil. If he didn’t exist we’d have to invent him. Recently he has been vintage Krugman, slinging derp. 

“Derp” is new slang, or perhaps jargon, with which to ridicule opponents. It is making its wayamong the left wing hipsters, blogsters, and twitsters.

"America's wealth comes from the efforts of people striving for success. Take away their incentive with badmouthing success and you take away the wealth that helps us take care of the needy. Yes, in socialism the rich will be poorer -but the poor will also be poorer. People will lose interest in really working hard and creating jobs."

Obama Didn’t Save Us
By Fred Barnes
October 22, 2012, Volume 18, Number 6

About the only talking point Joe Biden didn’t repeat in his debate with Paul Ryan was the one lionizing President Obama for having saved the country from another Great Depression. Biden used it in his speech at the Democratic convention, as did others, and it remains a hardy perennial of Obama lore. The president, ever immodest, has credited himself for this achievement. Last year Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told him, it’s “your legacy.” Andrew Sullivan, in a recent Newsweek cover story likening Obama to Ronald Reagan, twice credited the president with having “prevented a second Great Depression.”
