    Always ignores other peoples data, or Data that is inconvenient to him, like His attack on this woman over so called european Austerity, where she showed one chart after another, and he writes an entire article where his only rebuttal is "never trust a word she says," then he decides to switch and start talking about Ireland which wasnt even a part of her original piece.....

    It must be ridiculous, after all it criticizes Christie!

    "The Jersey Comeback

    "One real problem with living in New Jersey is that the state’s two major cities are, of course, New York and Philadelphia — which means that even if you live here, policy and politics reporting tends to be sparse. So it wasn’t until the latest budget fiasco surfaced that I even knew that Christie was running on the theme of the “Jersey Comeback”.

    "And now that I know, I wonder what on earth he’s talking about. Here’s job growth in three mid-Atlantic states since Christie took office. We’re the blue line at the bottom:

    "I’m actually not sure why NJ is doing so much worse than New York or Pennsylvania, and I doubt that Christie has much to do with it, but he’s the one trying to claim credit for … what?

    "Of course, his response to this chart would probably be to yell insults at the Bureau of Labor Statistics."

    Like... "rates of change of spending per GDP don't matter, only the absolute spending matters", you mean like that?

    Do you think his latest article "Chris Cristie Fiscal Phony" is not completely disingenous?

    The guy walked into a 30 billion dollar Budget shortfall, and has the budget balanced, and he did it with tax decreases and spending decreases, Do you not think it is completely disingenous for that little turd to write an article for the new york times questioning his credentials as a fiscal hawk, all because 1.3 billion was supposedly made up of accounting gimmicks?

    Do you really think that Krugman would be attacking Jerry Brown, or Obama if either one of those 2 nitwits managed to cut 95% of their respective deficits while decreasing taxes? On top of Krugman not knowing what he is talking about its this kind of shit that just makes him look like a partisan fucking idiot, he is trying to take Christie down a peg, and i suspect it is all cause the DNC asked him to do is cause he is a republican with a 60% approval rating in New Jersey which they are scared shitless of......

    Funny you bring that up since Obama has spent the most when measured against GDP of any president since World War 2, yet Krugman is telling him to spend even more, and that the way to fix the deficit is by spending more money.....

    You're not only full of shit, you know you are full of shit. You are quite aware of the many times I have brought out specific data, analysis and commentary that you not only have been unable to respond on, but have been overwhelmed by.

    What specific economic topic would you like to debate, Ricter? Go on, pick a topic. Let's have a debate.

    I'll throw down the gauntlet. Let's see if you pick it up.

    And the gauntlet lays on the ground. Surprise.

    What I said was "None of the posters on the left here (on this site)". And I maintain that assertion.
