Practice Shots

"I've seen you guys can shoot but there's more to the game than shooting. There's fundamentals and defense."
--Coach Norman Dale (Hoosiers)

When history looks back on our present period, a number of individuals formerly seen as legitimate will be viewed as foolish. Navigating for a leading position on this list is Nobel laureate Paul Krugman. He continues to spew drivel such as this NYT op-ed that only central planners could love.

Of course, op-ed is a breeding ground for such one-sided, half baked nonsense.

Pieces like this are best used for honing critical thinking skills. Simply take each of Dr Krugman's claims and test it against reason.

I doubt Krugman will be remembered at all.

Perhaps, but he's posted a lot of blather on the official record. Easy pickings...
