Krugman’s recent musings on Solyndra versus J.P. Morgan show that he is either ignorant of the basic facts on the DOE’s loan program, or he intentionally misled his readers.
There He Goes Again: Paul Krugman Invents Solyndra “Facts”
Paul Krugman is a Nobel-winning economist with expertise on international trade, yet he has a disturbing habit of pontificating with confidence on matters where he is either deliberately misleading or is simply ignorant of the basic facts. I have previously documented this habit when Krugman commented on the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill, and more recently when he carelessly repeated “facts” about mercury emissions that were obviously nonsense to anyone with common sense.
