Krugman runs wild

Krugman cries wolf
“We are living through a time where we face an enormous economic challenge,” Krugman told Russia Today (RT). “We are facing — obviously — the worst challenge in 80 years and we are totally mucking up the response.”
Krugman blames policymakers for the impending crash, fearing a replay of Nazi Germany as a result of a radical drop in standards of living on both sides of the Atlantic due to Germany’s (NYSEARCA:EWG) refusal to inflate the euro (NYSEARCA:FXE).

“We’re doing a terrible job. We’re failing to deal with it,” Krugman added. “All of the people, the respectable people, the serious people, have made a total hash of this. That is a recipe for radicalism. It is a recipe for breakdown.”
“There are a lot of ugly forces being unleashed in our societies on both sides of the Atlantic because our economic policy has been such a dismal failure, because we are refusing to listen to the lessons of history,”
“We may look back at this thirty years from now and say, ‘That is when it all fell apart.’ And by all, I don’t just mean the economy.”
etc., etc.

Comment: Nothing of that will happen. Comparisons of the current situation with the 1920s and 1930s are more than absurd, they are insane. Krugman runs wild because his nightmarish visions still didn't come true.
