Those who believe government run health care is preferable to being at the mercy of rapacious insurance companies need to focus on what is happening in the UK this week. A new report offers a glimpse of substandard care which

Nobel Prize winning “economist” Paul Krugman spoke at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in Washington, D.C. last week. During the Q&A session following the lecture, an audience member asked him about the rising national debt. Earlier in the evening, Krugman

PAUL KRUGMAN, NEW YORK TIMES: The fact of immigration is going to happen. The question about what we’re going to do about border control, is there some of that in these proposals, but in any case, that’s almost a separate

Liberal economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has said that our government’s trillions in debt is not a problem and even intimated that we should print more fiat money to get us out of our bad economy. Krugman

I do.  At the time, no one was calling for a weapons ban, the Left and their media pals were calling for a Palin ban.   Keith Olbermann went further and suggested Bill O’Reilly and conservative commentators were partly responsible.

Paul Krugman, the economist whose writings have graced the pages of the new York Times for years, has now been placed in an arena which would be the logical place for his emotional gyrations: the opera. Last summer, Krugman engaged

Thank you, Mr. President! With one heroic decision, you have saved us eight trillion times more than you ever cost us! By resisting public pressure to build the Death Star you have saved us $850 quadrillion, according to your science adviser.

Jon Stewart’s continued mockery of Paul Krugman and the trillion-dollar coin has been the focus of much-deserved attention, but there was another part of yesterday’s Daily Show that was even more revealing: Stewart’s interview with Pink Floyd bass guitarist Roger

The US is approaching its own “triple witching hour”, when we hit the debt ceiling, automatic spending cuts are triggered, and the government’s continuing resolution spending authority expires. The confluence puts in stark relief the government’s unsustainable spending habit. It

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman once suggested an alien invasion would be a grand way of turning the country’s economic fortunes around. Now, actor Danny Glover thinks the far-left columnist is the right candidate to replace Timothy Geithner as

On Tuesday, the Obama Treasury Department sparked bipartisan outrage when it released a report denying that China manipulates its currency, a belief widely held by Democrats and Republicans alike. By artificially lowering the value of its currency, Chinese companies sell

Nothing says good sense like Paul Krugman these days. The Nobel Prize-winning economist recently said that the United States should go back to a 91% top tax bracket; now he says at The New York Times that he’s looking forward

Real Clear Politics rephrases the title of Paul Krugman’s latest New York Times piece as “You’re Stupid If You Think It’s Close.” In it, Krugman writes, “Nate Silver (who has lately attracted a remarkable amount of hate – welcome to my

Polls decisively show that Americans say they are not better off now than they were four years ago. The same, however, cannot be said for Chinese citizens. A recent poll by the Pew Research Center finds that 70% of Chinese

No, the answer isn’t “just show up.” Biden is a master of malarkey, turning clear defeats into victories, fiction into fact. In 2008, Gov. Sarah Palin completely outclassed her more seasoned opponent. And yet the post-debate commentary–often more important than

The origin of the “spread of progressivism” in our youth can be traced  backed to academia. For decades college professors have spouted the big government doctrines of John Rawls, Karl Marx, Paul Krugman, and FDR. The professors have been and

If New York Times columnist Paul Krugman debates Austrian economist Robert Murphy, a New York food bank will get over $73,000. Yet Krugman, who believes in income redistribution to help the poor, has refused to debate Murphy. The author, winner of

Apple’s iPhone 5 is one of the biggest product launches ever in the sector, and may also deliver a well-timed stimulus to the US economy ahead of the presidential election, analysts say. Apple is expected to sell as many as

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman on ABC News says that the Republican Parties base is, “by and large, elderly white people arguing with empty chairs.”

In an iconic scene from Austin Powers, a newly-defrosted Dr. Evil demands that the world pay him a ransom of “One… Million… Dollars“–briefly forgetting that that the U.S. dollar doesn’t quite go as far in the 1990s as it did

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (UPI) —Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the U.S. central bank is never swayed by political pressures and declared Europe needed its own version of the Fed. The Fed was created 99 years ago from a plan

Last Wednesday I had the chance to attend the L.A. screening of DineshD’Souza’s new film “2016: Obama’s America.” The film is essentially avisual treatment of D’Souza’s book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage.” Both the film and the book advance the

In their new book, Fool Me Twice: Obama’s Shocking Plans for the Next Four Years Exposed, Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliot delineate exactly how Barack Obama will implement radical plans to expedite the transformation of the United States into

Back in 2010, I excoriated the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, noting that David Cameron was increasing tax rates and expanding the burden of government spending (including an increase in the capital gains tax). I also criticized Cameron

Writing for Time magazine, Fareed Zakaria has made a solid argument for public sector pension reform. He makes no bones about who is at fault in what he labels “the single biggest threat to the U.S.’s fiscal health.” [O]n the

I have great fondness for Estonia, in part because it was the first post-communist nation to adopt the flat tax, but also because of the country’s remarkable scenery. Most recently, though, I’ve been bragging about Estonia (along with Latvia and Lithuania, the

Wednesday afternoon, the president of Estonia, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, contemptuously fired back at Paul Krugman, the New York Times leftist columnist who hilariously fancies himself an expert on financial matters.  Krugman’s column, which came out earlier in the day, started the

Poor Paul Krugman. He’s got a habit he can’t break. He blames Republicans every time something goes wrong. It started when Bush won Florida and never really stopped. Like most habits, it’s insidiously rewarding. It even won him a Nobel
