BK>> Milton Friedman used to be the conservative icon for economics.   
      
    EC> This was Krugman's column on the 11th, and Klahn takes   
    EC> nearly two weeks to echo it.  The only real difference is   
      
    Croasmun is too ignorant to realize, the local newspaper does   
    not publish Krugman's column the day he writes it. The Toledo   
    Blade prints one Krugman column a week, on Monday. That   
    particular column ran on Aug 19. My msg was posted the 22nd.   
      
    However, if it took me two months to post, I would not   
    apologize. Seems Croasmun thinks he gets to set priorities for   
    the world.   
      
    EC> that Krugman glosses over the specifics and offers no   
    EC> substance.  Klahn doesn't understand the subject, cannot   
    EC> give any specifics, and is completely unable to offer any   
    EC> substance.   
      
    Long time ago, in one of these debates, Croasmun said, "...I am   
    an economist."   
      
    I challenged him on that. He never responded and he has never   
    repeated the claim. I understood quite well what Krugman was   
    saying. Krugman did include enough specifics in a general   
    audience article to support his claims.   
      
    I have repeatedly posted economic analysis Croasmun derides, but   
    never refutes, or even tries to rebut. All he has is cheap   
    shots.   
      
    Face it, Croasmun is a wannabe economic guru, Krugman is a real   
    economist.
