I’m no fan of the President, but Paul Krugman’s rants have gone from heated to just bizarre at this point. Shows that even Noble laureate’s aren’t immune from going off the rails.


Do you think it's more likely that a Nobel laureate has gone off the rails, or that they are using the same skills and knowledge that got them a Nobel to analyze the current situation?


Being an expert in economics doesn’t mean you’re an expert in everything.

And Krugman’s articles of late seem not be rooted in logical, rationale thought but rather leading with ideology and emotions.


He wouldn’t be the first to have gone off the rails. With genius often comes instability and mental illness.
