This is the proof of Right Wing dogma based politics: They don't look at evidence, only at ideology. Don't take it from me. Here's a Nobel prize winner in economics:

The gift that keeps on giving.

Krugman I notice he's not writing how great the VA is doing these days, He's an expert because those who deem him that agree with him. Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, so what does that award mean anymore?

Most the Nobel prizes are held in much higher regard than the Peace Prize. (Where apparently everyone in Europe is now a prize winner)

But in say economics, or science, it's still an achievement.
