Paul Krugman Couldn’t Manage A Paper Route. Who In Their Right Mind Would Nominate Him For Fed Chair?

Admittedly, newspapers are headed down the extinction trail on our current national course, along with liberty. So in that sense, why not hand over the Federal Reserve to a boob like Kruge?”

[Quantitative Easing] is very uncertain in its effect, but the [Federal Reserve] should be doing more of that.”


For something relatively more credible than Krugman and the Federal Reserve, how about nominating KISS (in full costume of course) to manage U.S. monetary policy?

    Krugman is advocating the Obamarrhoids start a scorched-earth retreat, like the Tsar used against Napoleon.

    Only trouble is, in this version Napoleon is the one scorching the earth.

    Considering the former President of Penn State, accused of covering up Sandusky’s crimes (and Mann’s AGW research) in order to keep the millions coming in has a Federal job requiring a high level security clearance – why can’t a consistant apologist and liar like Krugman get a Fed job?

    Heard tale Marcotte may get a job handling gender relations in the White House. Her intelligence, insight, and advocacy easily match Krugman’s.

    And Obama’s war on children continues.

    […] very high on the intellect scale either. And Smitty ponders the train wreck that would result from Krugman being named Fed Chair Admittedly, newspapers are headed down the extinction trail on our current national course, along […]

    Oh please or please let Obama hire Marcotte.  Of course before November 2012.

    If Obama hires Marcotte, he’s a fool. She’ll pimp for him for free.

    Either Ron Paul or perhaps the nations top bankruptcy attorney for Fed Chair.

    Gene Simmons, quite the astute businessman would do a heckuva job running The Fed – certainly better than the clown they have now.

     “handling gender relations” ROFL – Marcotte on that and Krugman on finance, you’ve got the making of a hit (situation comedy).

    When Krugman can explain how QE is any different than the Bank of Japan policies which led to the Lost Decade of growth there, and why it would have a different result, maybe someone would listen to him.

    Until such time, he is just background noise.

    Great smackdown of Paul “Puddin’ Head” Krugman, but calling him a boob is an insult to my rack.
