New York Times economics columnist Paul Krugman apparently tried to strong-arm struggling American workers into believing that they have been ignorant of an ongoing “Biden Boom."
Krugman’s latest op-ed of pro-Biden drivel didn’t make much of an argument. “[W]hile the Biden boom was and is real, has it been good for U.S. workers? Ask many American workers, and they’d probably answer in the negative,” Krugman wrote. “After all, hasn’t inflation eaten up all their wage gains and then some?”
But Krugman then took a nutty shift into pure condescension: “Bidenomics has been good for American workers, whether they know it or not.”

The guy is a far left moron.
Suffering makes you a better Democrat
He’s the guy who is always wrong
You can count on it
It must be nice to be wrong 99% of the time and win a Nobel Prize, sit back and continue making wrong assessments about the economy ad infinitum.
Leftists give him a pass while the Kenyans/BJ’s peel off our fence-sitters and independents. Works for them. Effectively I must say.
I work. I spent $100 last night to fill up my car to go to work.’’Is that “Great” for me, whether I know it or not?
I look at it as my Brandon DeathWinter tax payable to the communist Marxists Junta, the Democrap party they own, and their Media stooges.
Are those the workers Biden burdened with paying off others student loans?
Those workers Paul?
I’m surprised the scumbag hasn’t gotten sued or fired.
Anyone who listens to him deserves poverty.
“Now clap for that, ya dumb bastards!” —Joe Biden
There’s no Biden boom. The country reopened fully despite Covid and some folks have returned to work. There is still a massive labor shortage, inflation is still 8% and interest rates are not done climbing. We’re in a recession regardless of word salad these scumbags use. We continue to spend money we don’t have and are being flooded by third world criminals.
I’ve had economist friends (Who are conservative!) tell me that Krugman is an expert on an aspect of international trade. Is deserving of a Nobel Prize in Economics in the narrow ‘specialty’. On everything else they say he’s an extreme partisan shill! No kidding!
Note I’ve never bothered to research exactly what this economics specialty is!
There were Soviet economist that got prizes so why not Krugman. Doesn’t say much for economics as an objective field of study.
War is peace etc...
My wife and I have been married 45 years. When I met her, she was a Ford Republican and I was a Reagan Democrat.
She usually voted Republican just to do it, but was fairly moderate. Since Covid she has become as conservative as me.
Last night she observed about the media, “Everything they write and say is a cross between a lie and pure nonsense.”
However, over the short term one person's gain can be another person's loss.
Rightwing, leftwing, and middle-of-the-road economists can paint any situation as either good or bad by just focusing on the winners or losers.
It is the worst sort of clickbaiting, grifting, telling some people what they want to hear rubbish.
Wasn’t it just a month ago that Krugman had to issue a mea culpa about how he was completely wrong about inflation?
Seems he has learned nothing from that experience.
“It must be nice to be wrong 99% of the time and win a Nobel Prize...”
The trick is to be wrong but say things that a lot of people wish were right.
Well there is a “boom” in sense of an economy destroying explosion...
