    It is because paul krugman likes his apparently elevated position. If he were to support genuine reform his life would change.

    Because Paul Krugman is a globalist.

    A person who supports globalist policies and the banking system. Krugman is a mouthpiece for the elite financial system represented by the central banks like the Federal Reserve. That is why he's on television and everyone knows his name. He's put out there to promote what the system wants.

    He's probably not as well-known in Europe. Krugman is mainly geared to an American audience and is a frequent contributor on the alphabet channels in the US, as well as many big-name publications.

    Yeah but why does he want it. Follow the money. It is not an ideological purity, it is greed.

    I fail to see how a planet full of people who can't stop engaging in armed conflict can possibly hope to have the same money/economy.

    I am not a fan of Ron Paul or any other political figure -- I am merely posting this to show the dichotomy between two prevailing but conflicting beliefs on economics.

    It's greed in the sense that he's paid a lot of money to say the things he does. He has people he's working for, and it's not the average American citizen, or someone starving in a third-world country.

    yeah and neither one has a clue
    the system is bankrupt
    We just just haven't woken up to it yet
    Sure there is a huge amount of frustration but that is because people feel trapped in their situation.
    that is a sucker punch
    What I noticed is the guy behind the counter is just as fucked up as everyone else.and the powers that be are made of people who are just as fucked up as every one else, the advantage they seem to have is instilled by our own fear of change.
    If we realized there was no essential difference in the desires of the human being
    then our common desire can wipe it all out and we build a new world with a
    fresh feeling.

    You know if you can make for yourself a reasonably comfortable life within a fucked system
    think how much better it could be if we just took care of ourselves and each other.
