Observations on a culture in decline

I link to the mistress of snark, and point to her comments section, here;

"...Neutering the government oversight of the financial industry in the name of 'free markets' was the cause of the current financial crisis..."

Talk about a fucking LOON.

When someone is so obviously bereft of any history of the subject at hand that they'd simply, no, glibly, repeat such insipid non-sense that he'd read from, say, Paul Krugman, it's getting equally obvious that original scholarship and thought is no longer prevalent in that society.

Then again, a Nobel Prize going to such an anti-thinker like Krugman should be a clue too.

Swirlin' 'round the bowl.
