re..Krugman...Goldman..Greenspan....wt..??!!
.....

A Chinese man and his Jewish friend are walking along one day when the Jewish man suddenly slugs the Chinese man in the mouth.

"What was that for?" the Chinese man asks.

"That was for Pearl Harbor!"

"Pearl Harbor? That was the Japanese. I'm Chinese."

"Chinese, Japanese, what's the difference?"

They continue walking in silence, then the Chinese man punches the Jew in the face.

"What's that all about?" the Jew asks.

"That was for the Titanic!"

"The Titanic? That was an iceberg."

"Iceberg, Goldberg, what's the difference?".

"It is the thinking of Krugmans of the world that lead to "boom and bust". "

I couldn't disagree more, Steve. It's the deregulating and unleashing of the greedheads that leads to boom and bust. Our history proves that capitalism, unrestrained, leads to boom and bust. We used to go through regular 20 year cycles of them, until the reforms of the 1930's.
