Chief: Yes, of course WW2 was funded by the Gov’t … and the economy was still in recession at the start of WW2. So that’s like 12 years waiting for FDR’s policy to work.

… and yea, unfortunately it’s the “moderates” who decide elections .. just glad to see there ain’t really many Libs out there (20%) … ha!! what a joke .. cause the Libs are running the country right now.

It doesn’t really make any diff whether folks call themselves a “lib” or a “Con.” When the policies of the folks in office fail miserably, they vote for someone else to implement policies that work.

And JH, I’m wondering “but it took WW2 and a boost of sustainable jobs in the private sector” who do you think was paying all the wages for these jobs? I assume that you are talking about the jobs that were created to support the WW2 war effort. War bonds, which was borrowing money from the citizens of the country.

Krugman is smart, but he’s a Liberal first … economist second. Therefore Krugman can’t understand how FDR’s policy didn’t work … just built up debt via temporary government jobs. Some of this building effort was indeed worthwhile, but it took WW2 and a boost of sustainable jobs in the private sector to truly get us out of a huge recession. Obama didn’t learn this lesson, he is forcing a failed method and we will all pay for it ..

They didn’t lose their nerve as Krugman says, the policy failed … will Krugman Learn from Mistakes? no.

Anyway, did you know that 40% of people call themselves “Conservative” while only 20% “Liberal” …. sure makes me feel good, people don’t identify with Liberal ideas …. because they suck. Hopefully the next election will reflect this.
