Paul Krugman Squawks White Working-Class Americans ‘Want Their Racial Hostility Served Raw’
NewsBusters ^ | 9/28/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 09/28/2021 9:28:20 AM PDT by JV3MRC

The glowing predictions New York Times economist Paul Krugman made about ‘Bidenomics’ are falling flat, so he’s taken to attacking moderate Democrats and suggesting white working-class voters are racist.

Krugman screeched in a new op-ed that the leftists in the Democratic Party are proposing what he called “sensible, popular policies” like “negotiating drug prices” and “cracking down on wealthy tax cheats.” That’s Krugman’s way of promoting his leftist fixation on drug price controls and class warfare by attacking the rich, even though he himself is a millionaire. But he attacked what he called the Democrat’s “Rip Van Winkle” caucus for not going along to get along and risking “blowing up its own president’s prospects rather than give an inch.” Instead of taking ownership for his failing predictions that Biden’s policies would usher in an economic “Biden boom,” the inept Krugman instead blamed “Democrats who checked out intellectually a couple of decades ago and haven’t caught up with America as it now is.”

Part of Krugman’s accusations included lambasting moderate Democrats for appealing to the “racial resentment”-plagued white working-class during the past two decades, effectively stereotyping 40 percent of the U.S. adult population.

This moron has been wrong more than any other “economist” in the country.

If Krugman predicted that today would be “warm and sunny”, I would put on a coat and bring an umbrella with me.

Racist button has been pressed too many times, I think.

Sure it does work and it is a problem (where Democrats are in control) but the whole use of “racist” moniker is getting old.

I can’t decide if I would prefer Robert Reich to be hydraulically shoved up Krugman’s rear end or vice versa. Like a Turducken.

I know what they’re doing, and it’s working on me.

They constantly make the racism accusation. Even when it is non sequitur. Eventually the constant illogical, and wrongful accusation gives rise to anger in the accused.

And here I am, thinking, even as an old man, give me 10 minutes alone with Krugman.

To paraphrase Robert Heinlein, listen carefully to what Krugman says, then do the exact opposite.

Shut your pie hole Krugman. You have no right to make a sweeping statement about ALL “White working class” people.

So here we have Krugman looking down at the working-class again. I can’t decide which kind of people are worse, European royalty snobs or liberal elite snobs.

On second thought, the liberal elite snobs are worse. The European royalty are born into their snobbery. So they really can’t help themselves.

Don’t recall Krugman EVER being in the Coal Mines of WV/KY with the unionized mix race miners of the day. How is that white supremacist Krugman. And btw are YOU a white....well, semitic Leftist/Marxist “economist”. Anyone remember the “economist” whose hero was Romania’s Ceaucescus, Laura D’Andrea Tyson (of the Clinton’s fame)— a true moron for central planned disaster economies.

Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Tyson

and vs legend in his own lobotomized angle worm mind, Paul Krugman:

Whites ARE getting their “racial hostility served raw.”
It is just that we are on the receiving end of it.

Isn't the phrase "white working class" redundant?

Paul Krugman works for the New York Times, the same New York Times that aided Stalin in committing atrocities. Says everything you need to know about Paul Krugman.
