He almost seems purposely wrong. This seems so obvious. What is his agenda?

Love that you took this on directly with little equivocation. I'm sure he'll have a different take, but your reasoning is more sound and factually supported. Thanks for writing this.

It’s almost impressive how consistently wrong Krugman is.

I absolutely agree with you regarding inflation and Paul Krugman. Inflation is still out of control! Krugman is completely out of touch with the real world.

food and energy are notoriously volatile and not as influenced by IR policy so it is reasonable to exclude from headline CPI (it can just as easily decrease dramatically month to month); income inequality gap would have widened in any case regardless so i don't think you can attribute it solely due to inflation fighting policies; and yes cpi is still increasing but at a slower rate. I have seen data where household net worth has actually increased as a % of gdp.

Paul Krugman has been a counter-signal for decades now. It's amazing how a Nobel-Prize-Winning Economist can be so wrong, so consistently.

I guess he's sort of the Kramer of economics?

Please tell me you mean Jim Cramer and not Cosmo Kramer!?

Maybe both. I don't know how racist Krugman is.

No shit! Why even give that loser attention and start calling them out as criminals and minions if anything because that's all they are. You guys get talking points as well?!?
