Yes, I'm aware. I followed that debate as it happened and i read Krugman's blog often. I've read his writing closely and he's had a switch of emphasis lately. before he simply made the devaluation point. now he focuses on the fact that countries with their own currencies aren't having debt problems, no matter how high the national debt to gdp ratio goes. that is all i said and all i meant to say.

"Krugman is not a neo-Chartalist and his support of deficit spending does not make him one. Let's try this once more. " when did i ever say otherwise. you seem to be ascribing views and words to me that i do not have and didn't write.
