Ep. 5 Who’s Crazy?


Contra Krugman with Bob Murphy and Tom Woods

Episode

Paul Krugman says Paul Ryan is an empty suit whose budget plans are ridiculous. No arguments there, as we’ll show. But the problem with Ryan isn’t that he’s an Ayn Randian, as Krugman absurdly suggests, or that his proposals are too draconian. As usual when Krugman gets one right, he gets it right for the wrong reason. Ryan’s proposals are much too timid, they take domestic “savings” and pour them into military boondoggles, and don’t do a thing about entitlements.
