Clown: Paul Krugman Celebrates Pandemic Year as ‘Year Reaganism Died’
NewsBusters ^ | 12/30/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 12/30/2020 10:10:21 AM PST by JV3MRC

Leave it to the New York Times blowhard economist Paul Krugman to exploit the pandemic and dance on the imaginary grave on one of his oldest foes: Reaganism.

Krugman declared in a new op-ed that “The government promised to help — and it did.” This was a pathetic attempt at repudiating late President Ronald Reagan’s famous 1986 warning: “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.”

Krugman based his assessment on the federal government’s stimulus spending, including the recent 5,593-page pork-infested relief package. Krugman was just giddy about what all this abuse of taxpayers’ money meant for Reaganomics. He continued: “So this year is closing out with a second demonstration of the lesson we should have learned in the spring: In times of crisis, government aid to people in distress is a good thing, not just for those getting help, but for the nation as a whole. Or to put it a bit differently, 2020 was the year Reaganism died.”

I will check the obituaries on Friday to see if I can celebrate 2020 as the year Paul Krugman died.

It’s not hard to be wrong once and a while.
It’s really hard to be wrong all the time.
What a clown.

He is correct.

The "Great Reset" is the end of the Post-Cold War total American hegemony, brought on flawlessly by Xi, the CCP, the American Deep State and your local, thick as a brick, Karen who pissed her mirco-managing pants at thought of getting to police others over facemasks.

Govt: you can’t work
Citizen: ok, can you pay my bills then?
Govt: Here’s $600. You’re welcome.

The DJIA closed at 18,332.74 on Election Day, Nov. 8, 2016,

Krugman: “It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump, and markets are plunging. . . . If the question is when markets might recover, a first-pass answer is never.”

DJIA today: 30,468.01.

Typical, Krugman is silent when the government throws millions out of work, but cheers when the same government throws a couple of pennies back to the masses.
