I’m not going to read what he has to say but rest assurd. Every prediction Krugman makes is completely wrong. He is batting .000. If he says drop a stock, buy it.

The good news is that the NY Stock Exchange doesn’t need expensive Wall Street real estate. It can all be done remotely from a server building in a low cost state!

It see a NY State budget crash!

I figure about 1000 dead for each 200 point increase in the Dow would be pretty fair, and a pretty good deal. 10,000 dead In exchange for doubt 35,000? Heck yeah

And if Krugman is unfamiliar with the concept of asking people to die for the Dow Jones, it’s pretty obvious he hasn’t ever been in the military

Well Paul, we didn’t exactly go to war in Saudi Arabia to make the world safe for feudal monarchies. Seems like being asked to fight for the financial system isn’t a concept non-military man Krugman knows much about.

"....Wasn’t he the hack who said after the stock market took off when Trump was elected that it was only temporary and it would crash and likely never recover?...."

You almost got it right.

I believe he said that when the stock market shed 800 points the night of Trump's election, Krugman didn't even wait for the markets to open the next morning before predicting in his NYTimes column that the markets would NEVER recover from Trump's election. The first day, the Dow closed up 250 points. And you all know what’s happened since.

Krugman is like a one hit musical wonder. He gets a hit, wins a Grammy and then never records a successful song ever again.

Krugman won a Nobel economic prize in 2008 and has never been right about anything since. And yet everyone, including the NY Times, still listens to him like he's some big guru in economics. He's not.

He's a liberal idiot who barely keep up with that other liberal economic genius, AO-C, the bartender.

“Just African Americans.”

After all, the Dow, and all of America, was built on their backs. /S

Might as well keep it racist, Paul, while you’re at it.

"He must be a hack"

Hack is too kind of word. Krugman is a ? editorial writer for the NY Times. That probably explains it all. I don't think he has ever been right on anything yet he has received a Nobel prize in economics.

If anyone had taken him seriously over the years we would certainly be in deep shit.

We in America have a lot of employers with work to be done. It's not that we don't have work to do, it's that we aren't allowed to do it.

It is not an unrealistic expectation to see the economy comes roaring back in the second half of the year. Heck, it's probable.

the wellformedness criteria support reopening the economy:

- the ratio of benefit to negative consequences is high
- the ratio of benefit to risk is high

Fair trade. Krugman wants people to die for “the planet”.

He’s the moron who predicted the market would tank if Trump was elected.

In recognition, Republicans should award a "Walter Duranty Trophy".
