I'm guessing you're not here for any kind of rational discussion, but, could you explain a little bit about your motivation to post that comment? I'm not sure I've seen a pro-Krugman bias on news.yc. Even among most of those who think he's right, I'm not sure that deification is an accurate description.

In this case, it's particularly confusing, since Spain is one of Krugman's "look, austerity is bad" poster children.

It would also be very surprising if he didn't outright loathe the employment regulations that are strangling Spain. He is an economist, after all. I'm not Krugman accolite, but the "there are bad things happening so Krugman is wrong" logic is just weird.
Krugman has been against the austerity in Europe from the start. So Krugman was right all along.
Yes, austerity caused their ridiculous employment regulations.
So called austerity has nothing to do with it.
