The Most Delusional Paul Krugman Headline in the History of Delusional Paul Krugman Headlines
PJ Media ^ | June 04, 2024 | STEPHEN KRUISER

Posted on 06/05/2024 5:46:11 AM PDT by Red Badger

Longtime readers of mine are familiar with my overwhelming disdain for Paul Krugman, the Opinion section ultra-hack at The New York Times. I've lost count of how many columns I've written about this partisan lapdog.

Krugman fancies himself a genius's genius because he once won a Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. That's a Nobel-adjacent prize — he's not a laureate. Still, it's quite an achievement in his chosen field.

It doesn't mean he knows anything outside of that chosen field, however.

For most of the past two years, I've been writing about Krugman's stream of finger-wagging articles telling the American public that they aren't really suffering under Bidenomics. He'll bombard readers with metrics that Ted and Susan in flyover country don't give one whit about and insist that the they — along with all of the rest of the rubes in the hinterlands — just don't know how good they've got it.

I will concede that Krugman knows economics better than I do. His political hot takes leave a lot to be desired though. He's an insulated, leftwing propaganda pimp who is so far removed from the experiences of everyday Americans that he may as well be writing from Pluto.

In all the years that I've been reading and mocking Krugman, I've never seen anything as Coastal Media Bubble™ fantastical as this headline of his that I stumbled upon Tuesday afternoon: "Should Biden Downplay His Own Success?"

I checked. Krugman is, in fact, referring to Joe Biden. I thought for a moment there might be some Biden in Ireland who was having success as a county clerk.

Before we get into the meat of this lunatic missive of Krugman's, I would just like to point out that the very notion that Biden has a success that could be downplayed...

It’s like Democrats are in a lying contest.

Why bother even mentioned that he won an adjacent nobel prize? They watered down their prestige ages ago, even before they awarded a price to Barack Obama just for being Barack Obama, before he even had a chance to do anything except get elected, because they were too impatient to wait that long and even make a pretense of it.

It’s amazing how leftwing media types keep telling us what a great job Biden has done and yet very few people see it. It’s propaganda, period.

Oh, it's definitely a resumé builder for them.

>>>Why bother even mentioned that he won an adjacent nobel prize?<<<

Well, nearly every article written with him quoted in it usually says 'Nobel Prize winning Economist'.

Until I read this piece I did not know his award was an 'adjacent' prize.

I guess that's like a 'Major Award':

I think he got the prize for his anti-Bush articles. I doubt he ever had one positive thing to say about George W. Bush in his 8 years as President. But I quickly stopped reading Krugman when it was obvious what his propaganda line was. I don’t think he had a very good record for accuracy in his economics columns.

"like Democrats are in a lying contest."

That word salad corruption, complete with a smug face and a "thank you", needs to go down in a courtroom, where a judge holds litigants nonsensical responses to direct questions with a contempt stay in jail.

Leftists brag of their disdain for anyone questioning them. The people continue to tolerate word salad with misdirection dressing. They gobble it up.

He’s the guy who predicted 25 of the last 5 recessions, and who was caught on recording ADMITTING that Obamacare was designed to bankrupt the current system so they could implement national (government) health care.

What’s so bad about government health? Ask any country that has it. Need a heart transplant? Let’s have a look at that ol’ voting record...

The problem is with how inflation is reported. It is reported in a year-over-year narrative, rather than the cumulative, multi-year perception that is the reality people live.

Virtually every column by this commie POS can be summed up in four words. Democrats good, Republicans bad.

When Trump won in 2016 Krugman predicted that the markets would collapse and “never” recover.
