Krugman on G20: "outcome was better than I expected"

[ProSense]

An IFI success

Credit where credit (line) is due: the G20 outcome was better than I expected, with something substantive and important emerging — namely, much bigger funding for international financial institutions (IFIs), plus expanded trade credit. This will help smaller, currency-crisis countries a lot.

A turning point? No. But realistically, most big-time international meetings produce nothing; this did something significant.

1. Doesn't he sound overjoyed?

4. No, but he doesn't sound unhappy either.

Did you want him to bust out party hats and balloons?

5. Can't he get Kruggy with it, just once?

7. LOL

Ok, that gave me my first laugh of the day. Thanks. :)

6. Well... I suppose he had to say SOMETHING. That'll do... for now.

8. This may not be the only thing that turns out better than he expected.

At least he acknowledged it.

9. Oh boy!

:boring:

Who's this Krugman fella?

10. Mentions of Krugman will now drop off in the MSM

They only like him/care about him when they can paint him as an antagonist of the President.

11. Well, there goes Paul's "megaphone."

12. Kick and Rec. So Krugman threads are only popular if they are pissing on the President?

13. NOOOOOOO. Krugman hates President Hitler McCancer. This is obviously some evil clone.
