For some reason the actual video from Bloomberg TV doesn’t load for me (link below), so I had to embed from some Paulbot YouTube channel.
JFTR: I am not rooting for either of these guys.

Watching the first 40 seconds was painful. That talking head reminded me of someone on Soviet TV, unable to speak save in talking points.
And since when has Ron Paul been a ‘pillar of economics’? When was the last time he won a Nobel Prize for economics? Or even had a peer reviewed economics paper released? He’s a politician, lady?
On to the next.

You may not like Krugman, but he has been saying all along that slashing government spending while in an economic downturn is bad policy, and the events in Europe, from the depression level unemployment in the South to the double-dip recession in the U.K., have been proving him right. Unfortunately we may get the opportunity to prove him right again next year if the GOP gains control of the Senate and the White House this November.

Ron Paul doesn’t act nasty. Crazy, yes, but not mean or unpleasant and that can carry weight with a host sometimes. They are happy to have a polite guest who doesn’t throw their weight around.

re: #7 Dark_Falcon
That’s a pretty elaborate way to say that Krugman’s nasty.

I think this is hooey. In the same way you could say that Ron Paul has been predicting the crash of 07/08 all along. If some guy says the tide will go out because of unicorns and some other guy says the tide will go in because of leprechauns, neither guy is proven right by the tide going in and out.
What’s true is that both Paul and Krugman rely on ideological assumptions that place absolute values on either the private sector or the government – an ideological divide made popular between World War I and the Cold War –, and they use these assumptions to explain the business cycle. But the business cycle is not the economy, and it is not even the fundamental dynamic shape or nature of the economy.
