@PLazarinho@WesternLensman@PolitiBunny His expertise is economics, not the evolution of technology or the gyrations of the stock market. Beyond that, unlike most high-visibility pundits, he has acknowledged his mistakes many times.
@PLazarinho@WesternLensman@PolitiBunny Please see the 30 spot-on analyses I posted that, unlike the stock market or the internet, are actually in his area of expertise, which is all that matters.
Bessent: Groceries are going down. Since president trump took office, food prices, as many people like to call them, groceries, is up 2.5%
Hassan: When is the last time you were in a grocery store?
@jdbookmarks@WesternLensman@PolitiBunny Here are ten more, so we're at thirty. Tell me how many will suffice. Perhaps you'd like to counter with Hassett and Lutnick forecasts of 5% Q1 '26 GDP growth. How'd that work out?
@jdbookmarks@WesternLensman@PolitiBunny Well, for starters, he was right enough about international trade to earn a Nobel in economics. Beyond that, he's been right enough to have had the top-selling econ textbook in the US for years and years. Beyond that, the vast majority of his economic analysis has been right.
@WesternLensman@PolitiBunny Never fails to crack me up that critics have to reach back 27 years for their go-to knock on Krugman (for a throwaway line far outside his wheelhouse). Love it.
Behind me is $2 billion in cold, hard cash, a fraction of what Minnesota’s Democrats let vanish into fraud black holes under Tim Walz’s watch. Stacks on stacks of your taxpayer money, funneled into fake autism centers, ghost daycares, and ’ Feeding Our Future’ scams while real Minnesotans struggle & foot the bill!
And yet Q4 GDP was 0.5%, Q1 is currently 1.6%, real average hourly earnings are down year-over-year, consumer sentiment is at an all time low. Your word salad notwithstanding. @JosephFordCotto
