I just paid $4.50 for a half gallon of whole milk this morning. I sure am glad to hear things are going well for Krugman and his ilk.

"...Ah, but Krugman bypassed key context. The Council on Criminal Justice released a study in January 2024 showing that “Most violent offenses remained elevated in 2023 compared to 2019, the year prior to the outbreak of COVID and the widespread social unrest of 2020. There were 18% more homicides in the study cities in 2023 than in 2019, and carjacking has spiked by 93% during that period.” If that wasn’t telling enough, The Center Square also reported that “Hundreds of thousands of the migrants caught entering the U.S. have criminal records often including violent offenses..."

It is even worse than that. I just found out a couple of weeks ago that the FBI Crime Statistics Database is worthless now, because localities stopped contributing data to keep the database up to date.

I don't know where the authors get their crime data from, but if the FBI is the source, it is apparently completely understated.

Could be an unintentional effect. Not.

Send the next few bus loads up to the Baltimore bridge.

Tell them to fix it, you are needed labor.

Krugman's lunacy has been cited by a couple of Freepers who tried to say the rapidly rising debt was not problematic, and that all we as a nation had to do was "service the debt."

Which is rising about one trillion USD every three months now. What the clock for thirty seconds....
