[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Yeah, Krugman is “cool” because he can operate in an academic vacuum and never once have to truly deal with the real world and how things get built. Just wave a magic wand and we have… Infrastructure! Do a little research and fully understand the process before opining, because you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.[/quote]
Which gets to the larger problem that… most academics and politicians have precious little real world experience in anything… and yet they influence hundreds of billions of dollars of “investment”. I don’t, however, know what the alternative is. But it would be nice if occasionally someone raised their hand and said, “I don’t understand any of this”. I ain’t gonna hold my breath…
