They are better applied mathematicians than economists.

As for the those academics who might have predicted it, why be a killjoy and speak the truth?

You might lose out on tenure at one of the “best” universities much less become a learned expert (sic) like Krugman.

Here’s someone who did predict it, and wrote about it repeatedly in his column in Forbes magazine. http://www.agaryshilling.com/front.html [Interesting]

I spend less than $20 a year on the print magazine.

Best ROI of any investment I ever made.

The Mainstream jerk-offs limit themselves to Republican-Democrat Welfare-Warfare statist posturing and do not allow NOBODY to express the truth. Maybe Zakaria and the statists cannot handle the truth! They certainly can’t handle the Constitution, limited government, non-fiat currency! Maybe NOBODY (e.g. Austrian economists, libertarians…) should be on TV instead of these pompous
mainstream hacks.
