HEAD IN SAND: Paul Krugman Claims Bidenomics Has Been Vindicated
NewsBusters ^ | 10/16/2024 | Joseph Vazquez

How far does your head need to be buried in the sand to convince yourself that Bidenomics has been absolved of all the disaster it wrought on the U.S. economy? Only New York Times economics pseudo-savant Paul Krugman appears to know.

Krugman's desperate attempts to rewrite the pathetic story of Bidenomics continues to get worse with each new column he spits out on The Times’s homepage. “All the Good Economic News Vindicates Bidenomics,” read Krugman’s latest drivel-laced headline. “It’s hard to overstate just how good recent economic numbers have been,” pointing to a small string of meaningless anecdotes that get obliterated in context, especially in light of the aftermath of the blistering inflation crisis Americans have wrestled with for years under President Joe Biden.

Krugman asked his readers if his uncontextualized view of Biden’s supposedly “solid” jobs “growth,” so-called “falling inflation” and low unemployment rate “vindicate Bidenomics?” In Krugman’s view, “I would say yes — but not quite the way you might imagine.”

Krugman believes in UFO abductions too, I’ll bet.

Remember this is a man who won a Nobel Prize in Economics in 2008, which essentially means the award is worthless.

They're mixing up their metaphors.

Paul Krugman's head is full of sand, and it is buried in his own backside.

I will say this for Paul Klugman, his predictions and interpretations are consistently accurate. Whatever he says, the opposite is true.

If you are listening to Krugman for economic and financial advice, I feel for your investments and/or savings. It’s as bad as listening to Jim Cramer, Greg Ip, or Alan Binder. All four are celebrated by the media as being economic “experts” but they have been wrong on every economic issue (think of the inflation is “transitory” narrative) over the past several years.

I’m hoping Trump is elected. Because whoever the President is will have to deal with a recession next year. If Harris is elected the government and media will continue to cover up the true information and manipulate the numbers as they have been doing for Biden and Harris. We need an administration that will be upfront and honest about the economy and can implement policies to help deal with it.

Ya know, anyone with any character and any kind of conscience at all woulda short circuited receiving that award early on.....but as we know, obama possesses absolutely none of those qualities.
