Krugman warns of Trump immigration plans harming food production, construction

The agriculture industry might be hit the hardest, he suggested, noting that many farm laborers lack permanent legal status.

'Trump wants you to die': Nobel Prize-winning economist makes prediction about what's next - Raw Story

 "So my prediction — which I hope proves false — is that when NIH and other health agencies emerge from the current freeze they will have been emasculated and politicized, prohibited from releasing information and research whose implications the Trump administration doesn't like, banned from making policy recommendations that are inconvenient for Trump or at odds with the prejudices of the MAGA base," he warned. "And many Americans will die as a result."…

Opinion | Why Medicare and Social Security Are Sustainable - The New York Times

So no, Social Security and Medicare aren't inherently unsustainable, doomed by demography. We can keep these programs, which are so deeply embedded in American society, if we want to. Killing them would be a choice...

Krugman offers an elegy for the 'thousands about to die for the Dow'

It’s not entirely clear what is motivating Republican politicians across the country to agitate for the premature reopening of businesses, boldly ignoring the all-but-certain increase in human deaths from the COVID-19 virus that will doubtlessly follow. But Nobel laureate Paul Krugman, writing for the The New York Times, tries to distill it into three possible rationales. ....

‘Narcissism and solipsism’: Paul Krugman explains how ‘whiny, childlike’ Trump ‘grossly minimized the pandemic and its dangers’ - Raw Story

A recurring theme in economist Paul Krugman's New York Times column is that is wrong to single President Donald Trump out as being uniquely bad among Republicans — that he is a reflection of the modern-day GOP on the whole. This week in his column, Krugman asserts that Trump's coronavirus response is terrible but stresses that he is being encouraged by all his Republican enablers.

Paul Krugman: Trump is ‘flat-out’ lying about saving coverage for preexisting conditions — and still wants to kick millions off health care – Raw Story

Monday on Twitter, President Donald Trump made the absurd claim that he “was the person who saved” protection for “preexisting conditions in your health care” and declared, “I will always protect your preexisting conditions, the Dems will not.” Economist Paul Krugman, in his New York Times column, denounces Trump’s claim as a bald-faced lie and stresses that if he has his way, millions of Americans who suffer from preexisting health conditions will find themselves without health insurance.....

Paul Krugman explains the depressing truth about life and death in red states – Raw Story

Over the years, Paul Krugman has come across his share of Republicans who claim that thanks to right-wing economic policies, the United States is #1 in life expectancy — and the liberal economist and New York Times columnist typically responds that in fact, the U.S. lags behind a long list of developed countries where life expectancy is concerned. Krugman, in his December 2 column for the Times, compares life expectancy rates within the U.S. — demonstrating that the redder the state, the more likely one is to die young.

Paul Krugman: Trump’s ‘utter failure’ to bring back manufacturing jobs ‘should really scare him’ – Raw Story

One of President Donald Trump’s biggest promises to voters in 2016 was bringing back well paying manufacturing jobs to the United States. However, as Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman documents, Trump has not fulfilled this promise in any way, shape, or form.....
