Super economic GENIUS Paul Krugman REALLY wants you to stop believing your own lying eyes

Lai Seng Sin

Economists who are ideologically aligned with the Biden Administration have been pulling out all the stops as of late to try and convince the American people that, no matter what they're seeing and experiencing themselves, everything's going GREAT with the economy. Foremost amongst these peddlers of economic Happy Papers has been 2008 Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman, who will go to any length and massage any number to tell you that no, things are GREAT actually!

This is Krugman tripling down ... or quadrupling down ... it's hard to keep track of how many times he's tried to trot out this sort of argument but it's been a lot. Just last Saturday, Twitchy's own Grateful Calvin wrote about another attempt like this (Krugman to America: If you were super smart like me, you’d LOVE this economy – Twitchy).

Mr. Krugman enjoys trying to sell the economy as being great and inflation as being well in hand, which you might believe so long as you don't own a car or eat food.

This is the sort of very specific chart that means something to very specialized areas of research and theory for academics but has absolutely no bearing on what the average American voter and consumer is experiencing on a day-to-day basis. You'd think that Krugman would understand the difference but after a lifetime ensconced in academia or safely walled away writing his pieces for the New York Times, one must make allowances for Krugman having no idea about how economics works for people who actually work for a living and disregard his opinion accordingly.
