“Americans are feeling uneasy for reasons that are hard to pin down,” quipped economist Paul Krugman in a New York Times interview published earlier this week.
Reasons that are hard to pin down? Bear in mind that this man received a Nobel Prize– our society’s most prominent award for intellectual achievement. Yet he doesn’t have the foggiest idea why his fellow citizens may be feeling uneasy.
Perhaps it’s the ever-lurking prospect of escalated warfare. Or the exasperation over dysfunctional government, weaponization of the justice system, and manipulative media. Or the invasion of millions of migrants streaming across the southern border, virtually unchecked.
Granted those issues may be outside of Krugman’s wheelhouse. But you’d think that he would at least understand people’s unease over inflation.
