Building a Better Krug Man

Way back when he first entered the political dialog in the United States, Paul Krugman was a rock-ribbed, neoliberal technocrat interventionist, economic division.  Like many center-right Americans with a better than toddler-shoe sized IQ, he was sickened into enlightenment by George W. 'Retard Boy' Bush's non-stop cataclysmic fuck ups, so Krugman's politics have indeed gotten better over the years, and he has been an entertaining public intellectual, such as it is.  Still, since like many former right-wingers, he is a work in progress, it is good to see someone calling Krugman out when he backslides to the right.  Krugman, like a Bernie Sanders, is one of those barely left sort of folks who would be merely tolerated in a true left-of-center American political party.
