Krugman was answering a question about a recent blog post where he called Jon Stewart “lazy” for mocking the coin idea. “In this case, however, it’s obvious that nobody at TDS spent even a few minutes researching the topic. It was just yuk-yuk-yuk they’re talking about a trillion-dollar con hahaha,” Krugman wrote. “Hey, if we want this kind of intellectual laziness, we can just tune in to Fox.”
In the segment in question, from Thursday, Stewart says: “I’m not an economist, but if we’re just going to make shit up, I’d say go big or go home. How about a $20 trillion coinSource
it's an opinion based on pure stupidity, so yeah they should feel bad for that.
and yes people know the difference between looking like a pedo and accusing someone of being a pedo.
Only an idiot doesn't understand one from the other.
Is there like an invisible child on his lap that he's fondling that I'm oblivious to or something? How the fuck can you LOOK like a pedo? Can you also look like a slut? jw

I'm really not interested in either.
I get the feeling like you want to be "right" so you do what you need to do.
