Would imagine it had to do with this article -https://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/14/opinion/14krugman.html …
But other than radically underestimating the possibility of the Real Estate bubble and Fannie/Freddie collapse causing the Global Financial Crisis, what is he getting wrong?
in the week before i read that i had spent my working hours putting together a dossier about the GSEs for a Federal Reserve bank he gets basically everything wrong. the GSEs backed all of the worst stuff that was issued later
"they arent allowed to hold subprime" maybe hypothetically but their 10Qs showed otherwise, in spite of their use of nonstandard definitions of subprime to try and obscure the fact they had trillions of dollars of this shit. Alt A as well
it took me, then a fresh graduate, a few hours to discover all of this. just reading GSE financial statements. and yet somehow big brain paul krugman Cant Be Bothered to get his basic shit right before writing a column it was a major blackpill moment for me
