Ep. 217 Do Deficits Help Depressed Economies?


Contra Krugman with Bob Murphy and Tom Woods

Episode

Krugman complains that during the Obama years, when deficit spending was desperately needed, obstructionist Republicans opposed it out of what they claimed was principle, but was mere spite. Now, he says, with a Republican in the White House, they couldn’t care less about deficits. What’s really going on here? That’s our topic for this episode.
