BK>> Milton Friedman used to be the conservative icon for economics.

 Croasmun is too ignorant to realize, the local newspaper does
 not publish Krugman's column the day he writes it. The Toledo
 Blade prints one Krugman column a week, on Monday. That
 particular column ran on Aug 19. My msg was posted the 22nd.

 However, if it took me two months to post, I would not
 apologize. Seems Croasmun thinks he gets to set priorities for
 the world.

 Long time ago, in one of these debates, Croasmun said, "...I am
 an economist."

 I challenged him on that. He never responded and he has never
 repeated the claim. I understood quite well what Krugman was
 saying. Krugman did include enough specifics in a general
 audience article to support his claims.

 I have repeatedly posted economic analysis Croasmun derides, but
 never refutes, or even tries to rebut. All he has is cheap
 shots.

 Face it, Croasmun is a wannabe economic guru, Krugman is a real
 economist.
