NYT Economist Shames the Working Class
I've long been an admirer of Paul Krugman of the New York Times as he's a rational and accessible liberal economist who genuinely seems to have the best interests of the public at heart. But a recent column smacked of establishment rhetoric that bordered on gaslighting. Democrats ignore economic realities at their own peril and while most leftists expect little from sources like the New York Times, Krugman has often risen above partisan talking points making this even more disappointing.
