NYT’s Paul Krugman Triggered That Voters Blame Biden for Sky-High Inflation

New York Times economics columnist Paul Krugman continued his downward spiral into parody by letting voters know he’s triggered over them blaming President Joe Biden for the inflation monster eating their wallets.

Krugman’s latest drivel harrumphed that “[v]oters don’t care about economists’ estimates of underlying inflation.” Instead, mourned Krugman, “they care about the prices they pay, especially the prices of highly salient goods they buy on a regular basis.” Krugman pivoted off of a bad European inflation report to lecture Americans that the “lesson” was that “these are precisely the prices over which President Biden, or actually any president, has almost no control.” When Biden used a similar line of reasoning to dodge responsibility for inflation in March, even The Associated Press fact-checked him: “Biden sidesteps reality. Government spending has been a clear factor behind rising consumer prices.” A Rasmussen Reports survey in March revealed that "64% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the policies of Biden’s administration have increased inflation."

Looks like the economist who admitted he was “wrong” on inflation is hopelessly content burying his head in the sand on the issue.

Keynesianism Krugman (print and throw money to drive the economy, or break things like windows to increase demand) doesn’t believe that Biden caused inflation = paid Democrat liar

There....Fixed it.

Let me get this straight.

Krugman says voters don’t care about inflation they care about the high prices their paying?

This guy should be nominated for another Nobel Prize for political bullshit.

It's me, a senior on already limited fixed income, and a lot more like me in the USA, that Biden's irresponsibly deliberately imposed inflation greatly bothers.

I totally reject the motives behind these Presidential party-line moves that make retirement sad and dangerous. A great robbery of life savings that has been inflicted, and now experiencing a sharp uprising inflection point.

Not long from now, Biden's Inflation will inflane another nassive uprising, Joe; and that is what the January 6, 2021 DC gathering was about, to warn you and the rest of the nation.

Joe and the unwanted legislators that rode in on the coat-tails of Joe's Fraudulent Election Theft ballots. and those that still believe in this whopper of a social takeover need to think on this, and react to stop it.

One thing is, that we need to start up the natural gas, oil production, and pipeline transfer again IMMEDIATELY; and coal-produced electricity as well.

Joe and his sponsors are just as much literal killers of elderly people as the school shooters are of children.
