114. Hyperbole is a wonderful thing.

I really like it.

On the other hand, that clip shows a general agreement by Krugman with the Obama plans (albeit before the election).

As far as I know, his criticisms since then have mostly been criticisms that the stimulus needs to be larger.

I still don't understand why what appears to me to be a legitimate alternate opinion is being so demonized?

The MSM is playing it up to sell copy. What's your angle? There's obviously, from the clip, no visceral disagreement between Krugman and Obama's people... it's simply a disagreement over degree of necessity of spending.

What is wrong with "you people"?

(ahh, Tropic Thunder echoes in the mind...)
