COPE: Paul Krugman Whines GOP Senate Majority Will Be ‘Bad for Business’
NewsBusters ^ | 11/19/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

New York Times blowhard economist Paul Krugman is trying to cope with not getting the “blue wave” referendum on Trumpism he wanted out of the 2020 election.

Now, Krugman has said that a potential GOP senate majority will be — wait for it — “bad for business.”

Krugman whined in an op-ed headlined “A Republican Senate Would Be Bad for Business” that “the blue wave fell short of expectations,” and he fear-mongered about Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) still maintaining his control. “Big business seems happy with this outcome,” Krugman quipped. He also stated that “[c]orporate interests appear to imagine that they will flourish under a Biden presidency checked by Republican control of the Senate.” But, griped Krugman, “big business is wrong. Divided government is all too likely to mean paralysis at a time when we desperately need strong action.” By “strong action,” Krugman means a drastic American shift towards a leftist utopia.

Bad for business? Like governors of blue states putting their states into lockdowns again and crushing small businesses?

No, Krugman is the ultimate contrarian indicator. As an investor, I try to pay attention to his unhinged utterances and then operate on the basis that the opposite will come true with respect to whatever he’s predicting. It’s proven to be a quite profitable strategy.

Bad for BIG business maybe.

They had a serious cut back in plentiful cheap illegal labor under President Trump.

How would it be bad for even business as usual?

Sadly.

He’s not right about anything he predicts - nor right about anything else. In fact his views change depending on the part of the administration in power.

So for having ONCE won some sort of Award does not make you Permanently and 100% correct on everything afterwards.

You are still human and subject to error and biases just like everyone else on the planet. However for having attained to that achievement of AWard, it should only force you to be much more diligent, discreet, thorough and unbiased in everything going forward.

You mean like how the Trump Tax Cuts and other actions led to massive low Unemployment across the board, the Economy was growing at its fastest rate in history. Then this Chinese Virus hit and then the Democrats and Fauci shutdown everything to try and screw Trump over in the elections ?

That is a great point. These morons spew contrarian trash because they are paid very well to spread the lies and deceit.
