This is why the internet is great.
I do have a Ph.D., but it's certainly not in economics or an even remotely related discipline. I'm very competent at math and can check the equations, but the principles upon which they're based are beyond me. My leisure-time reading of economics is cursory and historical rather than theoretical (think Niall Ferguson and Talib rather than Krugman's or Friedman's textbooks).
So I couldn't tell you who is handing who what *ss in that Krugman versus Sean from Florida debate. To do that, I would need to have in-depth knowledge of the principles behind the economics that they're discussing. Now I know
you think Sean is dominating because that is what fits with your ideology. However, I'm quite confident that you did not sit down and start drawing graphs and solving equations to assess both positions before coming down on the side of Sean.
