New York Times economics columnist Paul Krugman has a knack for propping up President Joe Biden's atrocious economy at the expense of making himself look foolish.
Krugman belched up another word salad worth 846 words with a blaring headline: “How Democrats Can Fight This G.O.P.” After haranguing Republicans for supposedly not having “policy ideas,” Krugman bleated that a GOP-controlled House of Representatives with a narrow majority will be more “destructive” in part because the “economic environment, which was a headwind for Democrats this year, will probably (although obviously not certainly) begin to look better heading into 2024.” Inflation, praised Krugman, “seems set to fall substantially.” It’s unclear given Krugman’s abysmal track record on inflation under Biden why he’s arguing like he has any serious authority on the subject.
Barron’s magazine reported Nov. 11 that historical trends suggest that “when year-over-year inflation rises above 8%, as has happened with the CPI this year, it doesn’t recede quickly but tends to accelerate 70% of the time.” The outlet’s story was headlined: “Inflation Isn’t Going Anywhere. History Says It Could Take a Decade to Get Back to Normal.” This context was apparently lost on Krugman. His latest drivel read like he psyched himself into a state of denial. He claimed Republicans will “wreak as much havoc as they can” and “undermine what might otherwise look like successful governance by the Biden administration.” Yikes.

Is this genius a moron or is it this moron is a genius?
Paul krugman aka Bagdad Bob
Remember when Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe withheld snow-fighting equipment from Virginia highways during a blizzard (after he lost his re-election bid) and then instantly blamed the ensuing chaos on Glenn Youngkin, who hadn't taken office yet and wouldn't take office for weeks, and the MSM-Democrats took the story and ran with it.
That would be awful!!!
When is Biden’s ‘Successful Governance’ expected to start?
This moron is a moron.
These people really can’t be this stupid, can they?
His fears are unfounded.
Their constituency is the left side of the bell curve.
Thay's why they're referred to as "the left." Haha.
We have “governance” all right, but what is “successful” about it? Everywhere we look, epic FAIL.
What we had before was not “broken”. But now we have all these tinkerers trying to “fix” everything. They are just tearing down the old way of doing business, and putting up NOTHING to take its place.
Which successes is he referring to?
Biden has successfully raised the price and decreased the availability of energy.
He has reduced the supply and increased the cost of agriculture.
He has overseen a huge increase in racial disharmony and interpersonal violence.
He has greatly facilitated the transport of illegal aliens into the United States.
He has significantly built up the regulatory burden on businesses.
Our Gropin’ Joe is certainly very accomplished and successful.
Re my tag line.
Hold the presses! Don’t print the 12th revision of the Oceania dictionary yet. We have a new entry:
“successful governance”: when everything the regime touches turns to sewage.
“But it’s really great sewage, Mrs. Presky!”
Of course! Whatever Big Brother does is excellent.
Good point.
And I agree that the rats and their accomplices-the scumbag lying media- will blame Republicans in the House for everything bad that happens from now on.
They (Republicans) better be ready to fight from day 1.
Then again, they (R's) will have help from the Mighty MAGA Lion, (Trump) who will call the Rats on their bullsh*t everytime the try it.
Let's hope and 🙏 that the House Repubs will work with Trump, and not get involved in any treachery against him, facilitated by RINO's.
