This is pretty funny. There’s a rumor spreading that my son works for the Hillary campaign.
Only one problem: I don’t have a son — or a daughter, either.
And both of my cats assure me that they are not working for any campaign.
So in terms of substance, this is partly about how ready and able each candidate is to getting universal health care. One question I’d like to see each candidate asked, is whether or not they’d be willing to 1) use ‘the nuclear option’, i.e. outlawing filibusters 2) package universal health-care as part of the non-filibusterable budget bill, in order to get universal health care passed.
I think now is the time to signal to the Republicans and the voters that we have a Candidate who is not going to let 40 votes block health care. It’s simply too important a goal, not to pursue by every legitimate means.
Prof Krugman,
I would trust outdoor cats with their assurances, but indoor cats could be using your computer when you are not there as cats are sneaky sneaky things.
Well, we all know that cats lie. At least mine do.
You really expect us to believe your cats?
There was a bubble the affected a lot of areas. However, there werr local issues that in some areas that simultaneously caused prices to also rise. As a resident of Miami and a real estate economist, I am well aware of the fact that price in this area was being affected by a dimisnhing supply of buildable land, reflecting the fact that this area has natural boundaries — the ocean and the everglades — and a superimposed, politcally established urban development boundary that further constricts development. Beacause of that, not only has the price of land for suburban-scale “green field” development risen in accordance with the classic supply and demand curves but more housing is now comprised of mid to high rise units that are more expensive to build, hence higher priced on a per square foot basis. The factors that I have described affecting housing prices in Miami do not exist in metropolitan areas like Houston and Atlants that are essentially “sideless”.
yeah, krugman. but you look pretty young for your age.
During the Russian Revolution, a typical account by the opposition newspapers would be that during a battle, Trotsky survived but, however, his dog was killed. As Trotsky writes in his memoirs, he had no dog.
BUT ! If you had a son would he work for Hillary?
Ha! Would a cat work for anyone but it’s self?
Sargent must’ve never heard of adoption. My theory: immediately after the 1999 Boston Globe profile saying Krugman had no kids was published, he bought himself a 10-year-old Chinese orphan. With no genetic test for conservatism available at the time, he had to pick the right one by luck and instinct alone. The problem: the kid, née the apparently not too telling “Mao”, turned out to be a devoted Limbaugh listener. After several unbearable years of supply-side economics arguments at the dinner table, the only thing this enemy of America could do was toss the kid out like a Dutchman’s insufficiently-acculturated adoptee. Just to spite Krugman, the emancipated minor kept his last name, took his third cat, and today advises the Clinton campaign to turn rightward in its economic policy agenda.
Ah, but no one asked if your REAL son worked for the Hillary campaign, we need to know who the platonic Paul Krugman Jr. works for!
If he really is non-existent then you shouldn’t have any problem confirming or denying whether he works for Hillary, should you? What other imaginary things are you hiding?
You don’t have a son or daughter – that you know of.
This can only mean one thing: The Paul Krugman Love Chile Scandal!!!
Quick, someone call Drudge.
This can mean only one thing: Like every other member of the liberal glitterati, you have outsourced your off-spring to some offshore location. Instead of the one point three children you might have entrepreneured into this wayward world in the US, you chose instead in parentis non locutus, four (or is it five??) youths in South Asia and Indochina to do the work of those 1.3 kids. Not particularly efficient or productive, but for a guy who teaches at Princeton — surprisingly innovative!
I noticed you didn’t say anything about your dog. Or your fish. Or your copy of the White Album.
And don’t tell us you don’t have a copy of the White Album, Paul! *Everyone* has a copy of the White Album.
Oh. So THAT is who Robin Wells is.
She did a remarkable job on the Micro book. Compliments to your wife.
And both of my cats assure me that they are not working for any campaign.
Not even now that Inkblot is apparently throwing his food dish into the ring?
Aha! I knew we had more in common than mere ethics, politics and cats!
I don’t have a son who doesn’t work for Hillary too!
The son you had with John McCain’s daughter? Or is that still a secret?
You trust cats? You’re not as smart as I thought.
Your trashing of Obama is really beneath you and I think has seriously tarnished your reputation as a courageous, articulate truth-teller from beyond the usual cavil of Washington. Your attacks strike many as either gratuitous or directed by the Clinton campaign. Either way, the tone and content of your remarks on Obama are way beyond what would be indicated by the differences in the positions of the two candidates. See Robert Reich’s recent remarks for a similar position.
I’m pretty sure my dogs are working for somebody. Now, if I can only find out who…
But what of your dogs, Professor Krugman? Since you have not mentioned whether your dogs have now or ever worked for Senator Clinton, we can only assume that everything you’ve written is a hypocritical lie.
You liberals are always running having sex in your drug culture, so I believe you have an unknown son who is working for Hillary.
That’s hilarious. But on a serious note, are you working for the Hillary campaign? Or have you already been sounded up for a post in the Hillary administration?
Professor Krugman, forgive me if I get too personal, but I notice that you’ve had two wives – both named Robin? This is the most remarkable fact I’ve learned about you. As an economist, you would, I might have thought, find the statistical improbability astounding.
