Department of You-Shoulda-Seen-It-Coming: Dubai’s Property Still In Free Fall

  1. Krugman like treasonous Greenspan are cowards who lack a moral compass. There is no difference between them and Manson or the Son of Sam, they lack an inner voice that guides most of us as to what is right and wrong.

    The rape and pillage of Ireland is meaningles to them. Stealing (e.g., Fed digitally printing, bailing out the elite (TBTF)) or leading us to war does not trigger any sense of remorse. That is why they can lie to easily. They are sinners to the core!
