Well then, if it doesn’t matter if we are or are not experiencing a recession, why not TELL THE TRUTH!?!

Ooh, “real” experts. Ooh.

Until BeijingBiden ordered you to sing a different tune you were saying that this sort of mess was a recession.

What a tool.

The 'elites' are doing just fine. Why the hell should they care about hunger and loss? Nancy Pelosi's husband said we should shut up and eat cake - he's got his... and so does Krugman.

Exactly. The swamp creatures have plenty of money. 7 dollar a gallon diesel doesn’t effect them one bit. John Kerry has his aviation fuels paid for by the taxpayers. What’s it matter the president is a child sexual predator? What’s it matter that over 10% of the population is illegally here. What’s it matter over half the population is on the government teet? Let the good times roll,

There’s always a large swath of the population that needs a beatdown in order to understand the error of their ways.

Economic beatdowns are pretty painful.

We’re in a recession transitioning into a depression or worse.

President R.R., “A recession is when your neighbor loses his job, A depression is when you lose yours.”

Paul Krugman is known for having predicted 25 of the last 5 recessions, but yet he missed this one?

Why is this guy considered an ‘expert’?

Didn’t Krugman claim that electing Trump was going to put the US into a depression ?? Would that have been a technical depression or a rhetorical depression.
