Liberal economist Paul Krugman appears to have cherry-picked data to support his belief in the Federal Reserve’s ability to stabilize the economy.

In a recent column responding to another economist, Krugman included a chart purporting to show that central bank interest rates have a significant effect on long-term investments.

The only “economist” or “financial expert/adviser” or anything related to it is one that is super rich and the kind you have to kidnap and hold hostage to get valuable information from.

The rest are users, cruisers and losers sucking off trumped up educations, exaggerated job experience, or just all-round liars.

Doctoring a chart to concur with an economic theory?
Doctoring data to prove climate change?
Doctoring unemployment data to show a low unemployment rate? Doctoring firearms violence statistics in support for gun control?

Do we detect a pattern here?

Altering data is the only way liberals can win arguments. The global warmists have ‘revised’ colossal amounts of data to make it fit their arguments, they’ve even altered historical data from decades ago. Looks like the economists have caught on. If you don’t like the data, just change it or leave it out.

Krugman is a fraud, but he’s a liberal, so it follows.
