Then, after trumpeting the great stock market of the late 90s and how it shoed how great Clinton was (gag), he points to a few slightly more sane comments he made as evidence he told people the stock bubble would pop. Yeah, right.<BR/><BR/>Krugman has been better about criticizing Bush and the housing bubble, but overall, he is not correct enough to justify as being worth my time.<BR/><BR/>Shiller is the man, though. You might also check out Bill Fleckenstein at CNBC's website. He called the 90s bubble (when Krugman was giving a Lewinsky to the Clinton administration) and has been tough on housing all along as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-1141687203264826142006-03-06T18:20:00.000-05:002006-03-06T18:20:00.000-05:00Oh Really ...Here's some MORE BAD NEWS you Folks.....Oh Really ...Here's some MORE BAD NEWS you Folks...This SPRING'S CROP of NEXT BIGGER FOOLS DOESN'T APPEAR to be BLOOMING this YEAR!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
