Paul Krugman, the New York Times columnist who won the 2008 Nobel
Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, is back to pedaling his Big Lie
that Wall Street banks were not responsible for the financial crash of
2008 or the ensuing housing crash. This time he’s told such a doozie of a
lie that there is no longer any doubt that he’s on a mission to restore
Wall Street’s credibility, even if he has to rewrite the history of the
financial crash and every official report that’s been published on it.
The latest Big Lie from Krugman appeared in yesterday’s print edition
but first appeared in the digital edition on Monday under a different
headline, “Have Zombies Eaten Bloomberg’s and Buttigieg’s Brains?”
In a very clever sleight of hand, Krugman is complaining, correctly so,
about the fact that presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg has
adopted a right-wing mantra in attempting to place the blame for the
housing bust, that accompanied the Wall Street collapse, on liberals who
“caused the crisis by forcing poor innocent bankers to lend money to
people of color….” (Krugman’s complaint about Buttigieg is that he’s too
obsessed with the $23 trillion national debt – a significant part of
which, of course, resulted from attempting to recover from the Wall
Street collapse.)
