When I read that left wing hack Paul Krugman dedicated a column to attacking Paul Ryan and his “Roadmap for America’s Future,” I almost squirted my Pabst Blue Ribbon out of my nose. It’s your usual New York Times editorial: “Anyone who has a different political opinion than me is an idiot, and here’s why.” Though instead of accusing Ryan of hate mongering or racism like many of his colleagues at the Times, he accused him of being a flimflam man covered in flimflam sauce.
(And before anyone says it, yes I realized Krugman won the Nobel Prize. He won it with the same qualifications and reason Barack Obama won it, a) he’s hyper-liberal, and b) he isn’t George W. Bush.)
Admittedly, I’m not an economist. I also usually rely on libertarians as referee’s when it comes right vs. left issues, so I’ll let smarter people like Reason Magazine and Megan McArdle critique the specifics (McArdle also points out the Krugman, “…could easily have gotten answers to his questions if he had wanted them.)” Instead, I’ll just shill for Paul Ryan and let him defend himself…
