Title: NYT columnist rejects polls saying Americans struggling in Biden economy: 'I’m OK, people I know are
Post by: Wingnut on April 12, 2024, 05:10:58 pm
Another "Coastal Elite" tells us not to believe our wallets and praise Bidenomics..


New York Times columnist Paul Krugman shrugged off the notion that most Americans are actually struggling in what he declared a "good economy" under President Biden, despite what they tell pollsters.

"I’m OK, people I know are OK, but somewhere out there it’s terrible," Krugman wrote Tuesday while blocking replies to his post on X.

Krugman shared a link to his Monday column titled "Good Economy, Negative Vibes: The Story Continues," where he began by saying "we’ve had so much winning that we’ve gotten tired of winning, or at any rate blasé about it" when it comes to economic news.

"Paul Krugman doesn't know any regular Americans, and so he and the rest of the corporate press mock and gaslight you while you struggle with your rent or mortgage, food and other living costs. Absolutely zero compassion or connection to reality," financial commentator Carol Roth reacted to Krugman's post.

"How much do you get paid to be this out of touch with normies?" Daily Caller editor-in-chief Mike Bastasch asked.

"Krugman is ok. He locked replies, so you can not tell him if your fiscal experience is otherwise," said Michelle Ray of the crypto company SmartFi.

Didn't Krugman get a Nobel Prize for Economics despite never being right about anything?

Affordability and Upward Mobility are decreasing.  America is becoming a less aspirational nation.

First, it’s Paul Krugman

Secondly, his comments represent to widening chasm between average Americans and the elected and media class?

That's one of the best lines from Good Morning, Vietnam. But knowing Krugman, he wouldn't appreciate it.

Any who gives Krugman any credibility is an idiot.

This is classic Krugman.

The sky is blue, but if it's better for his jackassed POV for it to be green...well, by golly, it's green. 

And we'll just ignore anyone who looks up says....gee, looks pretty blue to me.
