re: #68 Aceofwhat?

then i will assert my credentials as a stopgap until someone actually wants to have a pithy discussion on the topic. surely a Master’s degree is enough to take my word for it until you have time for a debate.

No, it’s not, Ace. I can cite economists with more than a masters who think that lack of regulation contributed, so your appeal to your own authority is weak as hell.

Sheesh.

A nobel prize in economics kind of surpasses a Masters, so by your own criteria, Krugman is now the stopgap.

This is why appeal to authority is a fallacy.
