    That's not true. Show me a source where he says that.

    The important distinction is not between the "private sector" and "public sector." It's between goods and services produced according to the demands of consumers spending their own money and goods and services produced at the behest of politicians spending other peoples' money.

    Then all funds in the world should be allocated towards developing the US military.

    Globalists don't realize that when you have full control for decades, you probably shouldn't use the key names of past "genius" to denounce the new guy everyone wants who is pissed at the old guard. You might as well be cementing Paul in public support. Why not have Greenspan and Kissinger denounce Paul as well? Get voters foaming out the mouth for him.

    Maybe,because he's not willing to bend over backwards for Israel at the cost of our country.

    Just a thought.

    Latest economics newsletter I received on Friday says that America is now about to undergo an upheaval not seen since the civil war.

    Can't say I disagree and these guys success rate with their forecasts is 82%.

    Nice knowing you.

    Yeah, RP's theories would completely destroy the economy. Probably be almost as bad as being 15 trillion overdrawn with Krugman's baby. Where do you expect that to lead us?

    Europe will go first, then the US, then the world.

    Nice knowing us?

    Nice knowing everyone is more like it.

    We are all going down.

    You're begging the question. Show credible evidence that "Jews hate Ron Paul", otherwise you're just engaging in Alex-Jones-like conspiratorial nonsense.

    is really
    1. Deficit spending can be done infinitely.
    2. Deficit spending can not be done infinitely.

    The concepts that akphidelt raised are very valid but NOT concepts that Paul Krugman raised. Military spending is a very large part of the reason why the USA has been successful with regard to long-term deficit spending. The debate now should focus on trying to be "Fonzy" (i.e. the fictional character in the USA TV show "Happy Days"). Each military excursion runs the risk of exposing flaws that could completely decimate the USA economy. The USA should spend the next 5-10 years running a balanced budget with a slight surplus and keeping a low profile with regard to military activity. The concept of continuing "as is" carries the risk of a catastrophic failure (i.e. was the Iranian drone incident isolated or symptoms of a systemic flaw?).

    Krugman is a moron, he's proven it time and again. He's a shill for big government progressives.

    Well, they did ban him from their debate, no? I'm sure you know that he wants to cut foreign aid.

    Besides that, Alex Jones does not talk about groups of people, other than the "elitists" who want to kill everyone. lol

    Unfortunately, from what I've heard from him, a lot of his fears are becoming reality on a weekly basis. Indefinite detainment, bankers taking over the world, etc..
