If You've Got Money, It's Time to Spend SomeIf that isn't the most moronic thing ever written by an economist . . . wait a minute, I almost forgot Paul Krugman has been writing for years. OK, then: If that isn't about the 1,114th most moronic thing ever written by an economist . . .

We expect a better argument from you, RSM. Just calling something 'stupid' and moving on is the pasttime of liberal blogs. Why do you think this is stupid? Personally I think spending all that money would cause a momentary blip in the economy and then the next day everyone would continue to be unemployed only now with expensive car payments. But what's your take?
