Ahhh Krugman. That guy reminds me of a vivisection experiment from the "Island of Dr. Moreau", like if you took a poodle and gave it glasses and a wiry beard, and taught it to bark "more debt is better". His "nobel" prize is from an economics panel, not the scientific one - but lord knows he always flogs that title whenever he can. But that is the sum of the man/beast, where incomplete facts and vague statements (to maintain plausible deniability later, the 2005 fax statement notwithstanding) are the sum of his intellectual knowledge.

The reason he's surprised by commodities falling in price is he's never understood deflation, especially when the Chinese just reverse-QE'ed the USA by dumping nearly 800 Billion in Treasury debt.

It'll all come tumbling down, and I hope Krugman is there, somewhere in a high-end grocery store, mulling over which kind of whole-seed mustard to buy when a hooded non-1-percenter shoves him down and steals his wallet, then ransacks the store for good measure.

He is a man in dire need of a clue-by-four upside his smug poodle-grinning face.
