Senior leftist propagandist for the Obama mania media Paul Krugman now defends the Stimulus plan. Krugman started off his column “Stay the Course” as saying:

The debate over economic policy has taken a predictable yet ominous turn: the crisis seems to be easing, and a chorus of critics is already demanding that the Federal Reserve and the Obama administration abandon their rescue efforts. For those who know their history, it’s déjà vu all over again — literally.

Krugman still spreads the same fear mongering the Obama administration spread in order to get the “Stimulus” bill pass.Krugman mentions the Stimulus plan and says that the economy is recovering. Yet Krugman fails to mention that the CBO [Congressional Budget Office] stated that though the Stimulus plan will help the economy in the short term, it’ll be disasterous in the long term.

Krugman said:

And Republicans, providing a bit of comic relief, are saying that the stimulus has failed, because the enabling legislation was passed four months ago — wow, four whole months! — yet unemployment is still rising.

Yet Joe Biden said that during the time when Obama was spreading fear mongering vis -a-vis Stimulus plan, that everyone was just wrong. He said that it saved jobs, when a few million jobs were lost since January. Furthermore, even Krugman admitted it. Krugman still says the same thing Obama said and the same thing that everyone supposedly wrongly believed according to Joe Biden.

Krugman said:

On one side, the inflation worriers are harassing the Fed. The latest example: Arthur Laffer, he of the curve, warns that the Fed’s policies will cause devastating inflation. He recommends, among other things, possibly raising banks’ reserve requirements, which happens to be exactly what the Fed did in 1936 and 1937 — a move that none other than Milton Friedman condemned as helping to strangle economic recovery.

and:

What about the claim that the Fed is risking inflation? It isn’t. Mr. Laffer seems panicked by a rapid rise in the monetary base, the sum of currency in circulation and the reserves of banks. But a rising monetary base isn’t inflationary when you’re in a liquidity trap.

Yea, spending thousands, millions, billions and trillions on every little pet project is not going to cause inflation on planet Krugman. The CbO estimated that Obama’s economic policy is 1 trillion per year and 10 trillion in ten years. Yet Krugman wines about the “inflation warriors” pointing out these facts. Krugman said:

And Republicans, providing a bit of comic relief, are saying that the stimulus has failed, because the enabling legislation was passed four months ago — wow, four whole months! — yet unemployment is still rising.

Hey, Krugman. Maybe tell that to Joe Biden, who really needs some claim to be made in order to not look stupid when admitting the truth that doesn’t make Obama look his best. Obama promised that the passing of the Stimulus plan would have unemployment by 8% at the most. Now, it is at 9.4%, which is about the same amount Obama claimed that it would be if the Stimulus plan wasn’t passed. Hey, Krugman, do you want to see real comical relief? hy not watch Biden and White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs making fools of themselves or Obama without his telepromter? Why needs comedy when you can just listen to to good old Joe or Gibbs? Comedy is when you take the telepromer away from Obama during his speeches. That’s the real “comical relief”. With the Obama Administration robbing from younger generations with his Socialist policies, you can always get a good laugh listening to Joe, who admitted that the Obama Administration would waste some money, or Gibbs.

Krugman said:

The first example of policy in a liquidity trap comes from the 1930s. The U.S. economy grew rapidly from 1933 to 1937, helped along by New Deal policies. America, however, remained well short of full employment.

Yet scholars actually debunked the liberal myth that the new deal helped the American economy during the Great Depression. All yo have to do is google stuff like new deal disaster and you’ll find at least three results. There are plenty of more scholary analysis on how the new deal helped make the American economy worse, as scholarly analysis from sites like the FEE [Foundation for Economic Education] show. Even the Treasury Secretary for FDR Henry Morganthau said this about the New Deal:

We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. . . . We have never made good on our promises. . . . I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. . . . And an enormous debt to boot!

Krugman concludes:

To sum up: A few months ago the U.S. economy was in danger of falling into depression. Aggressive monetary policy and deficit spending have, for the time being, averted that danger. And suddenly critics are demanding that we call the whole thing off, and revert to business as usual.

Those demands should be ignored. It’s much too soon to give up on policies that have, at most, pulled us a few inches back from the edge of the abyss.

Let’s ignore the opponents of Obama’s Socialist thievery and just increase the deficit. I know the liberal story. Under Bush, the deficit is bad. Under the “god” Obama, we need a deficit. No liberal even said that we [America] needs a deficit in order to recover when George W. Bush was President. When Obama is President and dramatically increases the deficit [this is contrary to what he said on the campaign train when he speaks out against the deficit and pledges to cut it in half], we need a deficit. This article is just Krugman providing the real “comical relief”, something that you’ll get a lot of from listening to Biden or Gibbs. It’s something you can get a lot out of when Obama doesn’t have a teleprompter. It is something a lot of people could’ve had and/or got when they listened to Obama mentioning a non-existent language called Austrian.

Despite his boldness, Barack Obama seems as fated to fail as were Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter. And for the same reason: a belief in his own righteousness and moral superiority, and a belief that his ideals and his persona count mightily in the modern world.

Wilson declaimed about America’s fight to “make the world safe for democracy” when in harness with the British, French, Russian, Japanese and Italian empires, all slavering to feast on the carcasses of the Hohenzollern, Habsburg and Ottoman empires.

By 1920, Wilson was a tragic failure, mocked by ex-allies and reviled by former enemies for having dishonored his own 14 Points.

Jimmy Carter declared in 1977 that “we have gotten over our inordinate fear of communism that caused us to embrace any dictator who shared in that fear.” So, we undermined Nicaragua’s Anastasio Somoza and the Shah, and got the Sandinistas and the Ayatollah Khomeini.

As for Barack, he behaves on the world stage like some Ivy League kid ashamed of the people he came from, letting one and all on campus know that he is nothing like his benighted family with its sordid history.

In Cairo, he confessed that America had a hand in dumping over the regime in Iran in 1953. He did not mention that the United States forced the retreat of Joseph Stalin’s army from Iran in 1946.

For the 100th time, he declared, “I have unequivocally prohibited the use of torture by the United States, and I have ordered the prison at Guantanamo Bay closed by early next year.”

Is Obama unaware that Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia run prisons that make Guantanamo look like The Breakers at Palm Beach?

How many Guantanamo inmates plead to be sent home to Muslim countries?

In Trinidad, Obama sat for 55 minutes enduring Daniel Ortega’s diatribe against the United States for mistreatment of Castro’s Cuba and for the Bay of Pigs. Obama protested that he could not be held responsible for something that happened the year he was born.

Why could not he say to Ortega: “We also intervened in the Dominican Republic in 1965 to block a communist takeover, and in Grenada in 1983. The only problem with the Bay of Pigs is that we should have done it right and removed the odious Cuban dictatorship, and put Fidel, Raul and Che up against that same wall where so many patriots perished and spared the Cuban people 50 years of tyranny and the prostitution of their island into a base camp for the greatest despotism of the 20th century.”

What is the matter with Obama that he cannot defend our Cold War conduct and Cold War presidents like Ike and JFK?

Answer: Obama cannot, because at heart he buys into the anti-American narrative that ours is a deplorable history — of genocide against the Indians, of slavery and segregation, of robbing Mexicans of their land and of disrespecting our Latin neighbors.

Obama is determined to make the requisite apologies to show the world he does not condone the sins our fathers committed.

Thus, as Nile Gardiner of the Heritage Foundation has cataloged, Obama has apologized to Europe for our having “shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.” He apologized to Latin America for our having been “disengaged and at times … sought to dictate.”

He told the Turks that we are “working through our own darker periods in our history. … Our nation still struggles with the legacy of slavery and segregation, the past treatment of Native Americans.”

Obama, however, did not ask the Turks to confess to their own “darker periods,” which might have taken some time.

Obama is the anti-Reagan. Where Reagan ever spoke of the greatness and glory of America, her history and heroes, her capacity to make the world all over again, Obama is like a dismal parson, forever reminding us — and everyone within earshot — of our own and our fathers’ sins.

Obama is not only demoralizing Middle America, he is driving away the God-and-country patriots who are sick of hearing this rot from professors and journalists, and prefer not to hear it from their president. He is ceding moral high ground to regimes and nations that do not deserve it.

If Obama believes he can build himself up by tearing America down, he is mistaken. Cynical foreigners will view it with snickering contempt, patriotic Americans with disgust. What kind of leader is it who talks down his own country on foreign soil?

America’s performance in the Cold War was hardly flawless. But does anyone deny that we were on the right side, that the Soviet Empire and Mao’s China and communist Vietnam and Castro’s Cuba were on the side of tyranny — and that the neutrals were by and large irrelevant or worse in that great cause?

A nation is an extended family. While families fight and quarrel, often bitterly, you do not take the family quarrel outside the family.

You don’t hang the family’s dirty linen on the communal clothesline.

Obama, however — like some Hollywood actress seeking sympathy and public approbation with her tell-all biography detailing how she was abused by her father — trolls for popularity with America’s adversaries by reciting for the benefit of the world all the sins his country has allegedly committed.

When did this become the duty of the president of the United States?

The most prominent figures in Communism such as Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin were all mass murderers.

The most important lesson in the Cold War is that Communism is a screwed up ideology that led to the deaths of millions of people all over the world. Wherever the Communists took over, there was bloodshed and lack of freedom. Communism states to impose this ideology using any means necessary. It calls for absolute government control over the economy. Under Communism, people are lucky to at least own their own houses. 

Communism is the economic version of Fascism and is incompatible with democracy. Democracy means people have freedom of expression and the right to choose their own government. In a democracy, the government doesn't have control over individual life. Under a democracy, there are different political parties and the government has three branches, which are Executive, Legislative and Judicial.

The most prominent figures in Communism such as Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin were all mass murderers. In the Soviet Union, even the "moderate" Soviet leaders were mass-murderers who simply put a human face to the Soviet regime. They still carried out their killings and tortures on political opponents and still ran the gulags.

The problem is that many Communists and even some non-Communists leftist loons like Naomi Klein are sore losers and can't accept the fact that the Cold War shows that Capitalism rocks. Of course Capitalism is not perfect. No economic system is. Capitalism is the best system out there. 

Soar loser Communists who can't put a human face to brutal dictators like Stalin and the Pol Pot say that they wasn't a real Communist because all those innocent people were killed. Stalin and the Pol Pot imposed the Communist system. They were real Communists. Communism leads to the killing of many innocent people because it can only thrive on some of the worst forms of tyranny. 

My message to Communists is this:

Wake up. Your BS bloodthirsty totalitarian ideology failed.

"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right," joked Venezuela's Communist tyrant Hugo Chavez.
That was being made after Obama imposed Socialist control on General Mortors [GM], which filed for bankruptcy. Obama's Socialist control for GM produces more bad than good. It'll help get the economy even more down the tubes.
This joke is chilling because Chavez is the Communist dictator of Venezuela. Chavez is allied with Communist Cuba. Fidel gave the position as Communist dictator to his brother Raul in 2008.
Fidel Castro's Cuba was a proxy state of the Soviet Union during the Cold-war, which was an ideological struggle between Capitalist freedom and Communist tyranny.
Chavez supports Communist terrorist groups such as FARC, which is a Colombian terrorist organization that seeks to impose a Communist dictatorship on Colombia.
It's chilling of Chavez to suggest [even jokingly] that he and Fidel, the latter of who was a proxy of the Soviet Union during the Cold War, would be to the political right of Obama.
Rahm Emanual, Obama's Chief of Staff, said,"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."
That's exactly what the Obama Administration did. They used it to impose Socialism. They pushed for the Stimulus bill and then the Omnibus spending bill, both of which contain wasteful projects. The Omnibus spending bill has pig odor research. Both the Stimulus and the Omnibus bill contains millions of dollars for building bridges in small towns that already have bridges. Those two bills alo have many other wasteful projects. Obama used fear mongering to pass those two bills. The Democrat beaurocrats in congress voted for them without reading the bills.
Obama then moved his Socialist policy even more by taking control of banks and big corporations. He dictated how much CEO pay they can have and fired CEOs. Obama did that even with companies that didn't recieve bailouts. While his predessesor George W. Bush had the bailouts because of fear of having the banks and big corporations go under and because of fear of what the consequences may be, Obama used the bailouts in order to impose Socialist controls.
In a 2001 interview, Barack Obama called on the courts to have redistribution of wealth. Obama was a community organizer i.e. leftist radical during his political career and was one of the most leftist senetors. During his presidential campaign, Obama sought to downplay his far-left activism and associations and campaigned as a centeralist.
Obama won the 2008 elections. As president, Obama seeks to impose his Socialist agenda. With GM, Chavez made a chilling joke. It's chilling for a Communist dictator [jokingly or not] to say that he and his Communist ally Fidel Castro are to the right of any US president. Chavez made that joke while making his usual anti-Capitalist and pro-Socialist rants.
Chavez was turning Venezuela into another Cuba. He turned Venezuela into a Communist dictatorship. He imposed Communist control on the economy, with his nationalization of at least most sectors of Venezuelan economy. Chavez also arrested and/or killed his political opponents. Look at the caracus nine. They're nine victims of Chavez's terrorist dictatorship. Chavez also fired upon demonstrations who demonstrated against him. That was the reason why the first victim who was among the Caaracus nine, by the name of Francisco Uson resigned as the Venezuelan General. He was unjustly arrested by Hugo Chavez.
Chavez also sought to nationalize the media. He wanted to get rid of independent media. He shut down Radio Caracus TV [RCTV]. His goons violently attacked employees for another Venezuelan TV station Globovision.
Chavez's joke is chilling. Chavez's ally Fidel turned Cuba into a Communist dictatorship. Chavez oppressed his political opponents by arresting and/or executing them. Fidel put his opponents in labor camps. He also sent his goons in civilian cloathing to violently attack demonstrations from any demonstration that he does not like.
Obama should keep his "change" and his "hope". The "change we believe in" is disasterous. It's a Socialist path that's the antithesis of  the Founding Fathers. The Founding Fathers sought to establish a free Capitalist democracy, where people have individual liberty, not a Socialist state. Obama's Socialist vision is the antithesis of Reagan's vision. Reagan, during his presidency, made America's economy prosperous with his free market Capitalist ideals. When Reagan got in, America's economy was in shambles. He then made it prosperous with less government meddling and free market Capitalism. When America's morale was in shambles and with many people believing that the Soviet Union could win the Cold War, Reagan changed that by putting America's morale right back up. He got America right back up to Superpower status. He got America to win the Cold War and liberated millions of people in eastern Europe.
Now, Obama has a Socialist domestic policy and a Carter-like and Chamberlain-like foreign policy. Chavez's joke is just chilling.
