Stiglitz and now Krugman have high praise for Hillary's economic platform.

[DanTex]

Two of the most significant liberal economists in the world, Nobel laureates both.

So, upon learning this, is the Hillary bashing chorus going to change its tune? We'll see. As Krugman deftly explained:

Many liberals have changed their views in response to new evidence. It’s an interesting experience; conservatives should try it some time.

Guess we'll find out soon enough which school of though the Hillary bashers belong to.

1. So let's hear Clinton's economic plan that has earned high praise..

Waiting for it....

*crickets*

Content-free fluff is not sound economic policy.

5. 2 Nobel Prize winners disagree with you.

6. Did you seriously not even listen to or watch it?

Here's a synopsis. I'm sure you can find videos online.

10. OT...

Congratulations on hitting your two-week DU milestone!

Your contributions have been quite clever and refreshingly original!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I denote a hint of sarcasm./nt

[OilemFirchen]

16. Really?

I'm a welcoming soul. I even gave him a pumpkin!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. I don't believe London Lover Man loved your rejoinder.

[OilemFirchen]

20. Some people are uncomfortable with compliments.

More's the pity.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. Unless he or she is being damned with faint praise./nt

[Gothmog]

2. It is very meaningful to me to have both Stiglitz and Krugman approve of this plan

[PoliticAverse]

3. What have they said about Sanders' economic platform? Which do they prefer?

Which candidate do they think will fight more to implement their platform?

[Cali_Democrat]

4. Well...those two liberal economists both won the nobel prize in economics.

What do they know about economics anyways?

Pfffffft!

7. So what? How would they know better than a few people on DU?

Nobel laureates? Pfft! That's nothing compared to a message board education.

[stevenleser]

8. Uh oh, there goes Stiglitz and Krugman...

Under the bus!!!!

[bvf]

9. Whence the two content-light sentences from Krugman?

Don't be coy.

Don't bother. Got it.

[OilemFirchen]

11. Shame on the OP.

Google is your BFF:

So there was a lot more behind Hillary’s speech than I suspect most commentators realized. And for those trying to play gotcha by pointing out that some of what she said differed from ideas that prevailed when her husband was president, well, many liberals have changed their views in response to new evidence. It’s an interesting experience; conservatives should try it some time.

[DanTex]

12. Shame on me. For what?

There's already an OP here with all of Krugman's comments. This OP is about whether or not Hillary bashers are open-minded enough to recognize their errors.

[OilemFirchen]

13. Not including a link.

It's always preferable. And it tends to avoid the inevitable "Oh yeah? Sez who? Prove it!" retort. Not always, mind you, but more often than not.

14. Leopards ... Spots. n/t

17. From which you mashed together

two context-free sentences. I thought it might've been an oversight on your part--now I see you're just reveling in some puerile game.

[DanTex]

18. Those were the only sentences I cared about for this OP.

The point is, liberals change their mind in the face of evidence. Conservatives don't.

22. Here is Krugman

on the IWR vote:

Now, you can understand why many political and media figures would prefer not to talk about any of this. Some of them, I suppose, may have been duped: may have fallen for the obvious lies, which doesn’t say much about their judgment. More, I suspect, were complicit: they realized that the official case for war was a pretext, but had their own reasons for wanting a war, or, alternatively, allowed themselves to be intimidated into going along.


Link deliberately omitted, because--you know--I didn't think it was important.

Go fish.
