((( Paul Krugman )))

Remember when everyone was panicking about inflation, warning ominously about 1970s-type stagflation? OK, many people are still saying such things, some because that’s what they always say, some because that’s what they say when there’s a Democratic president ... Monetary doomsayers have been wrong again and again since the early 1980s, when Milton Friedman kept predicting an inflation resurgence that never arrived. Why the eagerness to party like it’s 1979?

So, will Krugman have some decency, shut his mouth and crawl back into the hole he came out of?

(That was a rhetorical question - I already know the answer.)
