Of course not! She told you, she isn't listening to him.

"Not listening" is American vernacular for "refusing to obey or adhere to or take seriously." It has nothing to do with not knowing what is being said.

Here is just one example of a Krugman doom and gloom scenario that translates into downright error at best, more likely mistatement to create a false impression, or possibly a flat out lie:

There are many, many, many more such examples.

It is a bit hard to believe that giving big tax cuts to the likes of Paris Hilton and Teresa Heinz created a lot of jobs. The fact is that the cuts were a big give away for the wealthy. Even conservative economists have said that.

Lots of jobs in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc where all their designer clothing is made.

And HERE are some good references to pursue for your education on that, Maporsche.

Could you show me where that link says that Paris Hilton having more money to spend on designer clothing does not create more jobs in countries where this clothing is made?

I was not saying anything against free trade, just pointing out that Ms. Hilton spends a lot of money on clothes, and now has a little mroe to spend.

Paris Hilton has money to spend because her family built a very lucrative hotel chain. That didn't happen over night and it certainly did not happen for free.

Paris Hilton has money to spend because people pay for her signature lines and products she endorses.

Paris Hilton does not have more money to spend because of tax breaks, but rather someone in her family earned it. A concept too many liberals are unfamiliar with.

Yep, the lottery that is conception sure did help out Paris.

I love your comment though. Basically your saying that Paris deserves the money because her ancestors did very well for themselves (she has no actual talent for anything), and then you lambast liberals about earning their money.

Please tell me again what Paris Hilton knows about EARNING money.

Is that envy, or jealousy? So hard to tell those apart.

Neither. Emotions have nothing to do with FACTS.

Nonsense. You have let your disdain for someone like Paris Hilton to blind you to the fact that she is a successful business person. It must kill you to think that some one like her can be successful and wealthy for doing so little (it seems) while we have so many poor people in the world.

Hold on. There is PLENTY that I like about Paris Hilton. Believe me. None of those things has to relate to her being a 'successful business person', which I would be foolish to assume she is. I would imagine that she has several dozen advisors and career managers that make all the important decisions for her (panty-less crotch shots and all). There is absolutly ZERO evidence that SHE is a successful business person.

There is no 'disdain' here, just calling a spade a spade.
