Krugman also denies that the broken window fallacy is a fallacy -- he actively thinks it's a good idea to destroy things (or produce shoddy goods) so that you can get the economic stimulus of building them again. He may be famous, but that doesn't mean he knows what he's talking about.

Arguing whether or not Krugman is right or wrong about an issue is one thing, but it's another to say that he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's a Nobel laureate!

Is he really that bad? Or do you just disagree with him?

He's a Nobel laureate _who denies the Broken Window Fallacy_ (and who, to reiterate the original poster's point, thinks that living within a budget is a bad idea). If his ideas are that bad and he collects those kinds of honors anyways, something's wrong with the Nobel Economics committee.
