I stopped reading Krugman when I cancelled my New York Times subscription, and for the same reason. The NYT was blatantly slanted against Bernie Sanders, while calling their reports "objective news." Op-Ed (where Krugman writes for the NYT) is opinion, but facts should remain facts. Mathematical values that were true in 2006 were still true in 2016. Or they should be.

I dropped the NYT and all my respect for Krugman when 2016 Krugman argued vociverously AGAINST single payer healthcare. 2006 Krugman made exactly the same arguments...in reverse.. when George W Bush was president.

The clear difference was that in 2006 Bush was against single payer. Krugman used worldwide healthcare results to empically show that single payer was cheaper and gave better results than the US' for-profit healthcare. 2016 Krugman used Bush-like arguments and worse (logically) to try to justify his 180° change of opinion on single payer healthcare. That Krugman supported Clinton and not Sanders and Clinton opposed single payer healthcare looked like the real reason for Krugman's about face. Pathetic.
