Paul Krugman Squawks White Working-Class Americans ‘Want Their Racial Hostility Served Raw’

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.

Dunghead Krugman can always be depended on to make morons look smart by comparison..

"Democrats who checked out intellectually a couple of decades ago"

Laughable coming from a moron that has not gotten ONE prediction in my lifetime and is on record of having exactly ZERO original thoughts in the last THREE decades...

A person could have done quite well investment wise by going contra on Krugman's 'advice'.

Perfect leftist... just smart enough to make certain their bullshit sounds good, not smart enough to see the bullshit for what it is.

Krugman is beyond The Pale....

I kill myself .

This is the guy who was given the Nobel Prize in Economics for writing columns attacking George W. Bush.

Krugman and his liberal elite pals will never get that racism STOPS with the working class. Been upper-lower-class all my life, been working all my life, and know for a fact when you look across that factory floor or down the milling lines, you don't see white/black/brown/yellow, you see the same as you: working to get by.

It seems when the working class becomes the educated class, things get racist really quick, especially if you ask them.

Contemptuous conceit and haught.

All his predictions fall haught, flat and clouded.

Another moron trying to convince us he’s a not a moron by spewing out moronic garbage.

Keynesians love them some price controls.
And Keynesians are always wrong.
Always.

I remember her. As I recall immediately after she was appointed - almost paired with it - the Clinton Administration announced that their next appointments to the Economic Council would be more experienced and well rounded.
