Nobel Prize Winning Economist Calls the US Economy a Ponzi Scheme

Posted by | December 19, 2008 | Uncategorized | One Comment

The headline sound like an exaggeration, but this is exactly what Paul Krugman has alleged today:

“$400 billion a year in waste, fraud and abuse.
But the costs of America’s Ponzi era surely went beyond the direct waste of dollars and cents.
At the crudest level, Wall Street’s ill-gotten gains corrupted and continue to corrupt politics”

Amazing.

    Two things.
    1) Thanks for ‘Smashing Telly’ it’s provided a great deal of entertainment, enlightenment and (needed) distraction over the past couple of months.

    2) Krugman’s right.

    Cheers
