Have you been to the grocery store lately, well of course you have Mr. Kust. but have you Paul Krugman? He probably has, and smiled at the $48.96 price on 2 ribeyes. That''s just 2, for 4 of us, Tam cuts them in two, to make 4. Once, standing at the meat counter, I remarked "I knew I should have been a cattleman." This lady stopped, and asked me what I did do. "I sold drugs, but don't worry, I was licensed in 3 different states." Not mentioning I was a community pharmacist.
"The cattlemen aren't doing so well either" she said, "I was listening to Glenn Beck on the radio."
"Yes" I said, "I heard that too, guess we all can't be middlemen."
You can say that again, heck, 2 or 3 times. We're just peons to them, guys that change the flats they never notice. Shame Krugman can even get one changed, "Nope. not gonna do it, no amount of money will get it done."
(Robert Reich was another one like Krugman. I’d read a fairly reasonable argument of his, then get to his conclusion that the answer to the problem is ‘more labor unions’ or some other recommendation that showed no understanding of cause and effect. I’d be left sputtering, “Huh? No!”)
Robert Reich is truly a special breed of stupid. If Krugman is the master of economic error, Robert Reich is the Grandmaster Yoda of economic error--the farce is always with him!
“Master of economic error” - have I gushed lately how much I love your dry wit? As with yesterday’s ‘“corrupt Chicago’ is redundant”, I’m still savoring your cleverness hours later, Peter. (By the way, I’ve read much of Krugman’s writings over the years and have always been astonished at his inane conclusions.)
So, the government bureaucrats are giving their usual spin treatment to data, as in ‘lies, damn
lies, and statistics’. They will keep on massaging the figures until after the Election, after which the real economic situation will become known and the MSM will blame absolutely everything bad on Trump. I should just print up t-shirts now, in anticipation of Christmas sales, that scream, “It’s Trump’s fault!” I could sell them at Progressive rallies and clean up from the predictably clueless Woke.

People like Krugman and Reich aren't sweating their rent and mortgage payments, or worried about the size of the grocery bill.
To them these are all just abstract numbers.
To them the folks on Main Street are all just abstract numbers.
People are not just abstract numbers. That is what is so galling about some of the rhetoric these "experts" blurt out.

Oh, Peter, I’m laughing up a storm - more of your signature clever wit!
