Okay this has gotten way out of hand everybody needs to take a step back drink some tea coffee etc according to preference and chill the eff out It is one word This is not a big deal we are seriously making mountains out of molehills The phrase austrain ron paul types is not libelous I mean really I don t see any bullying and what might might pass as personal attacks have been relatively evenly distributed so let s lay off that line of inquiry and stick to the content shall we I really don t follow Kjmonkey s points about undue weight I don t see how the word affects the weight of Krugman s quote in a quote one way or the other It s just additional information that provides an interesting contrast between his and Schiff s views on things That said Kjmonkey did provide some pretty convincing evidence that calling Krugman a Keynesian is not a mischaracterization even though he says that he doesn t agree with everything Keynes said It s relevant So let s just drop the stick let the friggin thing stay and move on It s really not that important in the grand scheme of things the scheme doesn t even have to be that grand really
