    That was depressing. Krugman's responses boiled down to "You're not right. You're not even wrong." Krugman has no real way to argue against Ron Paul saying things like "inflation is theft" and "Why not try having a gold standard? If I'm wrong, who cares, it won't hurt anything, but if I'm right, awesome!" and "If you like big government, sure, maybe the Fed is good, but some of us believe in freedom and markets."

    Krugman also seemed somewhat unprepared for Paul speaking loudly and quickly out of fear that at any moment a conspiracy was going to drag him off-camera with a vaudeville hook.

    It shouldn't be a debate. It should be Ron Paul bound and ball-gagged, and made to actually listen to someone who actually knows something about economics.

    Jesus Christ, Paul refers to "My First Ancient Civilization" history class talking points for a botched attempt of "BUT THE ROMAN EMPIRE" credibility, and says they didn't have "computers" back then. Well actually Mr. Paul they did have computers back then; computers were literally people whose only job was to plug away at mathematical equations.

    If you're going to try to use history to legitimize your argument, do your homework first.

    Well with some luck, PRI will actually succeed and eventually mine enough gold from asteroids to finally put the notion of a gold standard to rest. Sure Ron Paul might be dead by that point but he still reproduced and he has cult following that consists of too many people from various age groups.

    Krugman follows american politics.

    Krugman has every right to wear that face at all times of the day and night.

    Yeah. Honestly, I think he's pretty bad at these public media debates. It's surprising, given how good a writer he is and how much experience he's had at this.

    "The Obama administration, those traitor fascist Muslim Communist Socialist liberal elitists, are trying to divide America."

    I am actually greatly amused by the Republicans going all apoplectic at the whole "War on Women" thing. Finally the Democrats are playing a little hardball and controlling the message, and it's driving them nuts because they have no defense.

    The three Republican counter-arguments in that video are:

    1) "Nuh-uh!"
    2) "Look, this is nothing new, we've always been against women's rights."
    3) "LOOK OVER THERE! It's the economy! Let's talk about that."

    I liked when the Pub lady got all incredulous about actual state laws concerning women's rights but all incensed about the federal government taking health care decisions away from women via imaginary legislation.

    Because honestly, which is more terrifying: Actual laws that fuck women over a little, or imaginary laws that fuck women over a lot?

    Do you guys remember back when OWS hit its peak last year and people kept asking where are the jobs, and the republicans were like "stop talking about that! Who cares!" I would love to see someone bring that up now but of course they won't.
