The good news? @paulkrugman tells @mehdirhasan there’s an end in sight to the Covid-related economic crisis. The bad news? “Once we're back to where we were in late 2019, well, that's better than where we are now, but it wasn't good."

Why is U.S. infrastructure crumbling? Because we're "coasting on the Eisenhower years," @paulkrugman tells @mehdirhasan. "We have a system that was built at a time that there was a bipartisan consensus that you actually needed to build things. And since then, we've starved it."

What's economist @paulkrugman think about the Gamestop/Reddit/Robinhood kerfuffle as the House holds hearings? "There are no good guys in this story," he tells @mehdirhasan, scoffing at "the idea that any of this has anything to do with the problems of inequality in America."

Get on mainstream media dude we need actual IDEAS discussed
Rescind the GOP's multi-tril$$$ tax burden on the poor and middle class. We refer to it as a 'tax break' 4 the wealthy and corporations. So no more tax break, and no more representation without taxation. Pay your own freakin' taxes, right?
