'Renowned Enron advisor' Paul Krugman reveals Gruber-like 'occupational hazard'

Economist and New York Times op-ed columnist Paul Krugman has won a Nobel Prize, so you know he’s one of the smart guys — they don’t just hand out those prizes for doing nothing. Unlike Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber though, who found a way to exploit “the stupidity of the American voter” in selling the Affordable Care Act, Krugman finds it to be a burden to a writer like himself.

Benjamin Weingarten of TheBlaze happened to notice Krugman describing this “occupational hazard” in his most recent op-ed piece.
