FLASHBACK: Paul Krugman Bootlicked Biden for ‘Creating the Best Job Market In a Generation’
NewsBusters ^ | 8/23/2024 | Joseph Vazquez

New York Times economics columnist Paul Krugman has spilled much ink over the last year fawning over President Joe Biden's blazing jobs market, and now here comes the boomerang.

In light of the latest bad news that the government vastly overestimated job growth — by a whopping 818,000 jobs — Krugman the blowhard lost all his air. That 818,000 figure is equal to about 30 percent of the jobs growth for the 12-month period ending in March 2024 and represents the largest revision in 15 years. Yet Krugman, during that twelve-month period, was caught up in his own self-medicated political high on how Biden was supposedly “presiding over the best job market America has seen in a generation — specifically since the boom of the late Clinton years” in an April 2023 op-ed. But that’s not the first time he hung himself out to dry like this. Just a few months later, in July 2023, Krugman again praised Biden for “arguably creating the best job market in a generation.”

Krugman is wrong about everything.

If you say what they want you to say, they shower you with prizes to support the false narrative you should be believed when all you are is a paid liar.

It’s a good gig if you can stomach yourself.

The real story here is Biden ordered the BLS to inflate the job numbers. It was a big lie. Democrats and the Soros paid propaganda machine must be held accountable. Obama did the same thing in 2012.

Did he have high praise for president Trump who made America great again for the most part?

How do they get away with this garbage. Look at almost any town and see business after business gone, shuttered, whole sections of towns turned into waste lands.

Biden didn’t order anything.

Zero’s loyalists did their boss’ bidding.

Paul Krugman has been Biden’s Bootlicking Toadie ever since Paul was paid to say anything the DNC’s invisible and not so invisible controlling figures tell him to say.

Paul Krugman identified himself as an idiot decades ago.

Krugman was right. He created more “imaginary” jobs than anyone in history.

Krugman is a retard. Always has been. That’s why the white dude politicians think he’s so smart.

How many of those “jobs” the Biden admin is always bragging about are government jobs?

Isn’t he the genius that predicted a recession/depression within 6 months of Trump’s inauguration?

Yeah, a blind monkey throwing his own excrement at random prediction targets could make better economic prognostications that this “Highly respected New York Times” economist.

He used to be a brilliant economic theorist. Then, he was bitten by the ideology bug.

It was all downhill from there.
