re: #278 BryanS

Linking to Krugman is ridiculous because of his politics, not his economic credentials. You most certainly did imply that we should accept Krugman’s views because of his prize. However Krugman is also very firmly in the Keynsian camp on economics. He has a political view—a very firm and unwavering one at that—and it influences which camp of economics he argues from. He is not an unbiased source in any way on tax policy.

No one said he was unbiased. Is Ryan unbiased?

What I said was this: “Yeah, the guy with the Nobel, it is to laugh…”

Now, if you think that means “Accept everything he says”, allow me to clarify, it doesn’t.

However, I do, as I’ve said until I’m blue, think that your knee-jerk reaction to his very name was obnoxious.
