What is wrong with that? Or do you believe that one should never agree with some of somebody else’s opinions, without agreeing with all the rest? It is the word “excuse” which is idiotic. As if there’s something shameful in having ideas of one’s own. “And of course, Krugman has been caught lying numerous times, so one more is hardly a stretch.”Again without the evidence. It is not that I disbelieve you, or feel any need to defend Krugman’s integrity or his ideas, but I expect someone who clearly has a strong negative opinion of both to provide a minimum of argument or fact. You have not done that. So why are you here? What was your purpose in commenting, if it was not to add anything useful?

I also don’t think it’s “idiotic” to presume that if Krugman follows only specific parts of Keynes’ policies, it is those parts (and not Keynes’ policies) that Krugman favors. And I would hardly call it “secret” – it’s obvious and blatant. And of course, Krugman has been caught lying numerous times, so one more is hardly a stretch.

An idiotic claim, (unless backed by evidence.)

One need merely note that Keynes’ theory was <>counter<>-cyclic and therefore a key component was <>reducing<> spending during booms. Yet Krugman never advocated any such thing.
