A Bill So Bad It's Awesome

Paul Krugman's criticisms are nothing if not biting. His own critics mock his Nobel prize, but he's a genius at what he does.

You are right. He goes with Oscar Wild in that and certainly likes to make a sarcastic point. I used to like reading him, but since he has a readership to please and mostly only talks up his ideological corner, I no longer am a regular reader of his economic articles and especially not of his editorial.

I know right? The trillion dollar coin? An alien invasion would fix our economy? What a loon.

A clearly biased "economist" who offers liberal/socialist "solutions." There are no solutions in economics, there are costs and benefits to every economic intervention and anyone claiming a solution that is all benefit, or a magic bullet that always works is lying to you because of their bias/agenda.

Yeah, kinda like their idea of utopia. Can't be my own privately constructed utopia [ knock on wood ], mandatorially it must be theirs. Funny, actually not so funny, thing is that everybody must agree "voluntarily" to their concept of what a utopia is. All non volunteers are are targeted post haste for dissonance resolution.

Who needs open and free, opposing dissent if you are right? Right?
 
His 2nd paragraph does make a good point. The CBO is likely to slam it and it could easily destabilize the market. It will certainly never come close to Trump's promises in 2015-16 to ensure health care for all

His question is easily answered though. The point, as with all republican policy, is to enrich the already wealthy and to **** on the poor (tax credits linked to age and not income, gutting medicaid), and in this case, to claim that they technically got rid of obamacare

This is the biggest condemnation on the right wing - " There are real conservative policy experts, but the party doesn’t want them, perhaps because their very competence makes them ideologically unreliable — a proposition illustrated by the rush to enact this bill before the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office can estimate either its costs or its effects"

These people are not remotely worthy of governing even a small hamlet in zimbabwe
