Paul Krugman COMICALLY Calls Bidenomics ‘American as Apple Pie’ in April Fools’ Day Column
NewsBusters ^ | 4/9/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

New York Times economist Paul Krugman has made the absurd decision to label President Joe Biden’s unicorn economic agenda “as American as apple pie.”

Krugman’s column for April Fools’ Day promoted one of many Big Lies emanating from the Biden administration, that “Bidenomics consists, roughly speaking, of large-scale public investment paid for with highly progressive taxation. And both of these things are as American as apple pie.” Krugman’s revisionist view of American history was as follows: “[O]ne way to think about the Biden program is that it’s an attempt to bring back the Dwight stuff — that is, in fiscal terms it would represent a partial return to the Eisenhower era, when we had much higher government investment as a share of gross domestic product than we do now, and also much higher tax rates on both high-income individuals and corporations.”

The only reason we Created “economists” was so that Astrologists would appear to be real scientists.

Paul Krugman is not only irrelevant, he is nearly batting a thousand on his erroneous predictions.
Award winning economist? AOC is risibly a better economic prognosticator.

This is the man who cheered as the stock market came crashing down during covid....only because Trump was the sole catalyst for the markets success.
