George Will is Powerful Stupid. It takes talent to get so much wrong in so short a piece. Doesn't understand the Great Depression, doesn't understand Keynes, doesn't understand what Obama and Goolsbee (rightly) said -- just hopelessly ignorant, and after Krugman already set him straight on this last week on Snuffalufagus's moronic show. The Culture of Emboldened Stupidity lives on.

Is it stupid for these people to attempt to continue to promote their failed ideas or is it stupid for people to still listen/believe in what they say?

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

It's above all stupid for major countries to have "opinion-makers" like this one.

Re: The concept of "Opinion Makers" (none / 1)

Now I've got to think about that one.

Damn it!
