BUZZKILL! Paul Krugman Claimed 'Wave of Inflation' Seems to 'Have Broken’ Day Before Hot BLS Report
NewsBusters ^ | 4/12/2024 | Joseph Vazquez

The New York Times economics parody writer Pauk Krugman — because that’s all he’s been reduced to now — can’t seem to avoid sleepwalking his way into huge, unforced errors.

In another Apr. 9 column praising President Joe Biden’s alleged “Goldilocks” economy, Krugman was adamant that “while there was a wave of inflation, it seems to have broken.” Yes, Krugman wrote this just a day before the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its Apr. 10 report showing that consumer prices spiked hotter than expected at 3.5 percent year-over-year and 0.4 percent month-over-month. CNBC analyzed that core consumer prices (excluding food and energy) “also accelerated 0.4% on a monthly basis while rising 3.8% from a year ago, compared with respective estimates for 0.3% and 3.7%.” French newspaper Le Monde concluded, “The numbers are bad and getting worse.” In other words, Krugman: You done messed up A-Aron.

Paul Krugman is wrong about everything. That’s his specialty.

It’s amazing that a POS can be “wrong”, if not outright lying, about everything and still make tons of money as an alleged “expert”. Everything in this country is upside down right now. A big part of the problem is having worthless SOBs like this guy running the show or ‘advising’ on policy.

kind of like Jake Sullivan boasting about a quiet Middle East days before 10/7 or Jim Cramer touting one of sick bank stocks before Silicon Valley bank cratering or Joe declaring Aghanistan surrender disaster a success or BO calling ISIS a JV team—— so much junk gets shovelled out on an unsuspecting public. moral of the story: trust a Leftie at your own peril.

Paul Krugman is an ignorant idiot and never gets anything right. He’s also a symptom of the depravity of current journalism.

Where exactly is Krugman buying his groceries? Where is Krugman buying his gasoline? Because I want to shop there.

And this would be a surprise to whom?

Krugman is an ideological idiot who is wrong more often than not on any subject he offers an opinion on.
