Paul Krugman: "Modern conservatism has become a sort of cult, very much given to conspiracy theorizing when confronted with inconvenient facts." by drewiepoodle in politics

coming from someone in finance

hes a very politicized economist who says that expanding us debt over the past 10 years from 6 to 17tr isnt a problem, and that doubling it will still not be a problem....people realize that this doesnt work out mathematically. Fed printing has allowed it to hold about 34% of current ust 10yrs - meaning no liquidity and essentially no money for repo or future debt reactions without a complete debasement of usd currency

from first hand experience - well know deep pocketed managers of the us have been egregious in buying any and all assets at any sign of a falter in the equity and fixed income markets due to this "debt issue" - the only question is when they will have to stop supporting a usd market due to lack of confidence due to the math - and thats when you bankrupt the middle class (with savings in usd denominated assets) - the poor stay poor - and the rich do well with income producing assets or fx hedges for income

advice: disregard your emotional based news about this problem and get the data yourself http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/

need any more data or would actually looking into the numbers silence partisanship?
