Writes Felix Moreno: I find it hard to believe that Krugman could be so delusional as to actually believe what he writes here. Apparently FDR was frugality personified, Obama should not make the same mistake. Would building a marble bridge across the Atlantic and then blowing it up be enough to make us richer? Also, I guess Hoover and FDR’s great idea for keeping farm prices up (destroying crops and livestock) was not bold enough to raise GDP and other stupid stats. Nothing short of scorched earth policy will be enough to end poverty.
