Krugman: Space Aliens Needed, In Order to Get Some Fiscal Stimulus

By Douglas V. Gibbs



I've always known that Paul Krugman is a kook. From his fake Nobel that was more a prize for "one of the guys" than for any real merit, to his failed economic theories, the guy is a loon.



But now, Krugman has really taken the cake.



On CNN the New York Times columnist first talked about how he thinks we need inflation, and that he knows a good way to go out there and get it. You just need more spending plus more expansion by the Federal Government. He thinks we haven't done enough of it.



He probably thinks the New Deal didn't work because Roosevelt didn't spend enough fast enough, too.



Then Krugman got even crazier than usual. He said, "If we discovered that space aliens were planning to attack and we needed a massive buildup to counter the space alien threat and really inflation and budget deficits took secondary place to that, this slump would be over in 18 months."



Okay, Islam is not a worry, but space aliens is. . . oh, wait, that's his way of saying that the war against the Axis Powers brought us out of the Great Depression. . . even though Europe had already begun recovery long before, and the United States was plummeting back down into the depths of depression again after the New Deal had accomplished worsening our economy.



"And then if we discovered, we made a mistake, there aren't actually any space aliens. . . There was a Twilight Zone episode like this in which, uhh, scientists fake, uhhh, an alien threat in order to achieve world peace. Well, this time we don't need it. Uh, we need it in order to get some fiscal stimulus."



Is that how desperate the liberal left is? Their policies fail, they can't seem to get it through their head that to fix all this is to cut spending, cut taxes, and reduce regulations against the producers of society, so they are willing to resort to having an alien invasion?



Krugman has decided somebody out there needs to figure out how to create a space alien attack. If we have a space alien attack, according to nutcake Krugman, our economy recovers!



Hmmm, I wonder if just having the Chinese attack us has crossed their minds.



These people are nuts. Liberals like Krugman have no worries about the Chinese, North Korea, the Muslim jihadist threat, but they are willing to fake a space alien attack because they think a good war fixes economies.



So why didn't our economy just take off after Vietnam?



Is he hoping Iran attacks too?



Krugman is a space alien war monger, it looks like.



Man this dude is a loon.



One thing is for sure, he gives us plenty to laugh at. Of course, I laugh at the liberals daily. Their stupidity is astounding. One neurotic commenter's vile idiocy is especially amusing.



Could war help? Of course. Not like they think, and not for the same reasons as they think, but yes, it could. During wartime the tools of war are produced. Production is the key. Supply-side economics. Good or bad, if a product is being manufactured, it becomes a thing of economic value.



Of course, Krugman is partly correct. We are being invaded by aliens. Illegal aliens.



Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution requires the federal government to protect the States against invasion.



How about you begin there, Krugman? How about we put the border patrol to work, and fence builders to work, in an effort to stop the alien invasion from the south?
