Mickey Kaus delivers a fisking

Mickey Kaus delivers a fisking to Paul Krugman, formerly a bad economist, now a bad columnist for the New York Times. Uncovering Krugman’s many errors has become a staple of the blogosphere. Among other things, Kaus points out that Administration critics like Krugman, who accuse Bush of inaction on the economy and call for “fiscal stimulus,” never acknowledge that the economy is benefiting right now from the fiscal stimulus provided by Bush’s tax cut. In enacting the tax cut, partly, as he said, to stimulate the economy, Bush was ahead of his liberal critics. (By the way, Mickey, thanks for linking to us on Thursday.)
