"SNIP.............................................

For the third time in as many days, Paul Krugman is slamming Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and his budget plan, which proposes to slash government spending.

The Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist wrote in a blog post Thursday that some of the research backing Ryan's claims -- Ryan says that deep government spending cuts would boost the economy -- has been "more thoroughly refuted... than any other popular doctrine I can think of."

"Ryan's complete lack of self-reflection is nonetheless something wondrous to behold," Krugman wrote.

The dig is just the latest in the Krugman-Ryan spat. Krugman has called Ryan's plan cruel and "a path to continued depression." Ryan fought back, claiming Tuesday that "there have been lots of studies debunking" Krugman's argument that boosting government spending helps the economy when it's weak.

3. Anyone with any doubts about Ryan's studpidity need to watch the tape of the Biden-Ryan

debate from 2012. nt

4. Pardon me if I go with the nobel prize-winning economist when it comes to the economy

5. I will disagree with the Nobel Laureate on this point

I think that all Paul Ryan sees is his own refelection. And all he hears are his own ideas.

Perhaps an excess of self-reflection is the problem.
