A few days ago, 4 economists reviewed Professor Gerald Friedman’s analysis of Bernie Sanders’ economic agenda, which came to the conclusion that his policies would be hugely beneficial. Their conclusion was that Professor Friedman’s analysis and conclusion were completely wrong, and could not be supported by the evidence. Paul Krugman then jumped in with a variety of blog posts of his own piling on Professor Friedman, along with anyone else that may support Senator Sanders candidacy for President. And boy howdy! Clinton supporters everywhere rejoiced that Senator Sanders plans had been eviscerated and shown to be the very fairy dust and unicorn tails that they always believed.
They might want to sit down…

James K. Galbraith just sent them a little letter, and I don’t think Team Clinton is going to be happy about it. Not only does Mr. Galbraith take them to task (to put it mildly) for impugning the integrity of Mr. Friedman’s methodology and analysis, but calls them out for failing to do any kind of economic analysis of their own! But this is the sentence that really caught my attention (not that the rest of the letter was anything short of hilarious in its condemnation of the 4 economists):
“For the record, in case you're curious, I'm not tied to Professor Friedman in any way. But the powerful – such as Paul and yourselves – should be careful where you step.”
Holy Shitballs! Talk about hitting them where it hurts! Hillary’s surrogates might start getting a little more careful as they try to ridicule and downplay Senator Sanders and his ideas, candidacy, and supporters.
