Krugman Admits He Was Wrong

Could you guys please work this out and get back to me?

An off topic reply?

I make a point to NEVER click on a link posted by a wingnut, as the articles are almost always hateful Reich-wing bullshit, but have made an exception here. The source article on FP is over a year old. VERY odd for Whell to be posting it now, but apparently he's been posting anti-Krugman hate here for years. Pretty sure he posted this article before, but the search here being what it is, I won't be checking.

Even if Whell's post were entirely honest and forthright, a professional admitting to having made an error is what professionals do. I guess he prefers economists who still insist that Trump's tax cuts will pay for themselves and not increase the deficit (e.g., Stephen Moore).

The exception being those who don't admit to making errors. They are legion.

Then they wouldn't be a professional. They'd be a fraud.
