Krugman has a track record...he is off track.
And now he shows himself as a conspiracy wackjob.
He may still be a good economics teacher, after all many who can't do, do teach. But he has proven himself to be unarmed with facts or predictive abilities in the battlefield of ideas.
No one is asking Lindy serious science questions, and Krugman is not much better when it comes to politics or international affairs.
