I’m drying plumbs today and haven’t got time to read Klugman’s pretzel economics.

Isn’t this the genius who said Trump would destroy the economy

This must be the new orchestrated meme.

Robert B. Reichhhhhhhh wrote a virtually identical piece the other day.

Don’t look at the strong growth numbers, look at how many left-handed minority transsexual teenagers don’t get their minimum daily requirement of Niacin every day.

Here’s one of Paul Krugman classics:

Paul Krugman wrote in 1998,

“The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law’ — which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants — becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”

Obama blamed all his failures on Bush, whatever it was, it was never Obama’s fault. It must be hard being so perfect......

The stopped clock is right twice a day. I hate to say it, but Krugman is right about the nature of our economic metrics.

And Obama attributes all of his success to Trump...he worked so hard to set the table for him.

And when that growth was concentrated in a few areas while the rest of the country experienced no real recovery at all.......for 7 or 8 years.

The indiot Krugman has been so wrong so many times that if Pravda on the Hudson was really a respectable newspaper they’d be embarassed to host anything Krugman says; but alas if Pravada on the Hudson was ever respectable those who knew it to be so have long since passed away.

Wasn’t this twit one of the people talking about how great and wonderful Obama was for our economy? When Obama’s dismal 1% annual growth was occurring, was he suggesting that we needed a different set of statistics to demonstrate how WONDERFUL that growth was?

But now, NOW, with record growth, we need some secondary statistics to prove how BAD this growth IS?!?

If Paul Drugman told me it was raining, on a rainy day, I would still go outside and stand in the rain to verify!!

Why wasn’t this necessary during the Obama administration, when the economy was growing at 1% annually?


OK, do what the NYT Nobel prize-winner idiot says...

But go back retroactively 10 years to cover the Obummer years so we can get the clear picture he wants...:^)

How did this Krugman clown get a Nobel award? Oh, that’s right, the same way, Chairman Hussein Obama received his.
