It isn’t the fact that he is blatantly biased in his views, it is that his views have been shown, historically, that the pounding inflation caused by his blithely stated ‘fixes’ of a Greek-type economy, tends to destroy much more than it fixes.

The stimulus just needed more stimulus. The answer to all government failures is even more government. Boy, my name is Krugman and I am really, really, really, very, very, very, smart. Heck – make that brilliant!

P.S. Why worry about inflation – all you need are wage and price controls (and maybe some rationing).

All a country has to do is inflate their currency until the debt is absorbed. Of course your economy becomes a shambles. A Big Mac and a Coke will cost a month’s pay and a person’s life savings would be needed to buy the kids shoes for school. Yes inflation is the cure all right. It’s the cure for a sane and effective fiscal policy.

Krugboy is basically right you can get rid of debt through inflation

The part Krugboy fails to mention is you will destroy the Country’s economy if implement a policy of ever increasing inflation

He makes a case for what best benefits the government, not necessarily the populace, on the theory that what’s good for the elites is good for the rest of us. He doesn’t consider that their goals & ours are completely different.
