Hey, Paul Krugman! Blaming ‘MAGA’ for Americans’ Disdain for Bidenomics Is a Terrible Take
NewsBusters ^ | 1/11/2023 | Joseph Vazquez

It’s unclear anymore whether New York Times propagandist-in-chief Paul Krugman actually believes the pro-Bidenomics psycho-babble he spits out or if he’s just trolling at this point.

Krugman tried bridging the gap between his illusion of a goldilocks Biden economy and the disgruntled, inflation-rattled consumers who aren’t as deluded as he is in his latest 1,108-word hot take, “Is Poor Economic Sentiment All About MAGA.” In Krugman’s distorted view, Americans struggling to make ends meet against the increasingly tenuous cost of living squeeze is just a mirage. “The more I look into it, the more I’m convinced that much of what looks like poor public perception about the economy is actually just Republicans angry that Donald Trump isn’t still president.” Yeah, go with that Krugman. [Emphasis added.]

Krugman’s lips are sutured to the DNC’s butthole.

We would love Bidenomics if all alternatives were illegal.

From numbers released at 8:30 this a.m.:

US Inflation Rate Above Forecasts

The annual inflation rate in the US went up to 3.4% in December 2023 from a five-month low of 3.1% in November, higher than market forecasts of 3.2%, as energy prices went down at a slower pace.

Energy costs dropped 2% (vs -5.4% in November), with gasoline declining 1.9% (vs -8.9%), utility (piped) gas service falling 13.8% (vs -10.4%) and fuel oil sinking 14.7% (vs -24.8%). Meanwhile, prices increased at a softer pace for food (2.7% vs 2.9%), shelter (6.2% vs 6.5%), new vehicles (1% vs 1.3%), apparel (1% vs 1.1%), medical care commodities (4.7% vs 5%) and transportation services (9.7% vs 10.1%) and continued to decline for used cars and trucks (-1.3% vs -3.8%).

Annual core inflation rate eased to 3.9%, below 4% in the previous period but above expectations of 3.8%. Compared to November, consumer prices went up 0.3%, the most in three months and above forecasts of 0.2%.

He is as bad as CNBC’s Jim Cramer, whose stock predictions are so bad that there is an ETF that is comprised of the companies that he said would not do well. These
Companies are thriving.

The ruling party in this case is about 180 degrees off the mark & by now, that should be evident to any thinking person.

It was called LJIM for Long Cramer, but it closed on September 11 of last year. Here is the story.

Way cool. It was a partly return, but still way better than Cramer’s actual recommendations.
