Krugman Revives ‘Zombie’ NY Daily News Headline to Accuse McConnell of Telling States to ‘Drop Dead’

Liberal New York Times economist Paul Krugman needed to dip into the graveyard of famous newspaper headlines to spit childish hyperbole at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Ironic that the guy who wrote the Keynesian book “Arguing with Zombies: Economic, Politics, and the Fight for a Better Future,” would attempt to revive a zombie headline from roughly 45 years ago to continue proving his lefty bias.

Krugman went #PeakWoke at McConnell’s suggestion that states should file for bankruptcy. Krugman’s piece headlined, “McConnell to Every State: Drop Dead,” is a play on an old 1970s New York Daily News headline lambasting then-president Gerald Ford. That headline read, “Ford to City: Drop Dead.” Both Krugman’s op-ed and the Daily News story harangued elected GOP officials for bucking the idea of using tax dollars to bailout states and New York City respectively.

Krugman has always struck me as the saddest human I ever came across. Is this guy ever happy at all?

Let me second that motion.

States looking for money to bail out over-generous, underfunded pension plans for government employees can go take a hike.

Interesting that you never make comments and only post your own material.

These things zip through the social media networks.

Liberal cultists need these things to survive.
