Stop Being an Idiot: Paul Krugman Calls Bidenomics ‘Triumph that Nobody Appreciated’
NewsBusters ^ | 11/17/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

Pseudo economics savant Paul Krugman just can’t give up trying to sell the snake oil of Bidenomics as being the unsung hero of the economy that the supposedly dumb plebeians just couldn’t appreciate.

Seriously, bro. Just take the “L” and move on.

Krugman plastered another piece of rambling gobbledygook on his Substack page November 16 trying to draw parallels between the Trump and Biden economies. Unlike Trump, snooted Krugman, there was a “surprisingly strong case for Bidenomics.”

Oh, but wait! He took it a step further: He referred to the inflationary disaster President Joe Biden inflicted on the economy with his outrageous spending policies as the “[t]he triumph that nobody appreciated.” He’s been engaging in this kind of stupidity throughout the Biden administration, constantly trying to gloss over the fact that he got his "transitory" inflation calls spectacularly wrong.

As early as 2023 — while inflation was still running hot, Krugman was bleating that the Biden economy was “remarkably successful, even if nobody will believe it.”

My goodness. It’s like watching Jim Carrey’s character Fletcher Reede from Liar Liar (1997) trying desperately to go unconscious by beating himself to a bloody pulp.

Well, I guess if your goal is to inflate your way out of debt brought on by massive government spending, I can see his point.

Ah yes, time honored Leftist tradition: wait for everyone to forget the details and then hammer the table and insist loudly that black is white and up is down.

Well, after all, the boy Pedophile imported 20 million useless foreign illegal aliens and gave them billions of taxpayer dollars to spend to jack up “his” ‘conomy.

Well, not surprising from the person that called Milton Friedman intellectually dishonest.

Krugman is nothing but a propagandist for the left in the same category as CNBC. They both try to pass themselves off as financial analysts when they are just tools for the rats.

Oh, contraire.....The Beltway bureaucrats, NGO money laundary, Ponzi green energy bankers, and hundreds of other grifting charlatans, approve of the Biden Administration’s free money policies that enrich themselves at the expense of hard working productive deplorables.

Has Krugman ever been right in the last 20 years?

Government spending is now 39% of GDP. Krugman loves Big Government
DOGE tried and failed to bring it back too preCovid levels (20.9%)
